Description:

About 40 feet left of Thank You Scott. Very technical and sequency, this route feels like a 35 foot boulder problem. The crux comes *before* the first bolt, so bring a stick clip or TR this climb.

Hangdogged this sometime last summer. Preclipped the first bolt.
Boston Rocks guide has the balls to call this a 5.10a.
