Description:
Bouldering start and jugs to the top. Ran out to the last bolt. It's 11d to the first set of anchors (used to be 11b until a hold broke).

Tricky start, pumpy finish
6/7/2008: Figuring out the sequence of moves down low was not trivial. It seemed like there was decking potential from 2nd and 3rd bolt, both clips felt very tenious. After the 4th bolt there are no moves harder than 5.10c/d, but boy, it keeps going and going forever. I don't think I've seen any other route at the Red with quite as big a runout at the top... but maybe my brain was melting from the combination of 90F heat and forearm pump.
8/17/2008: much better -- two hangs only on 3rd try.
Yeah, that's it, brain meltdown--that must be the explanation for why I want to go back to it.
