Description:

After entering Purgatory thru the arch its the second route on the wall. Pre-clip the first bolt if you can because the crux is right off the ground. its the best warmup at this cliff but other warm ups can be done on the way in. route goes at .11b/c

i got the second Onsight of this route which made me feel special. if you are getting pumped out part way up, ditch out into either of the huge huecos on the way up. pre clip the first bolt if you can, crux is between it and the ground
