Description:

Right of the obvious chimney/crack climb; bouldery start to first bolt. Start either directly straight up, or start slightly left of the bolt line, mistakenly thinking it'll be easier. Very thin and strenuous right away, and it even overhangs up higher for those of you who need more torture. Some moves require high steps, too. At the middle, you'll have a choice of going up left or right; either way is no easier than the other. Rough texture and 'itty bitty' pebbles will take off the outer layers of skin if you have to work it for long. Big pump on thin holds.

4 out of 5 stars Redemption

After taking a 20 foot whipper after the crux on this thing due to pump a few months back I finally got back on it and after working the moves out on top rope I was able to finally get the lead clean on the first attempt of the day!

5 out of 5 stars ascent note

Fun route. Second go. Stick clipped the first bolt the first time to get an idea for what the holds were like for the first clip, and I hate stick clipping. I also skipped the last bolt.

4 out of 5 stars Skipped the last bolt

It's easier if you skip the last bolt. You don't have to waste precious time and energy trying to clip the bolt.
