Description:

A bolted climb on a vertical orange wall. Retrobolting in 1991 focused the route from a 5.11A problem to a 5.11C face. Ascend Sheer Stress for 30', step left and then up the steep wall above. The bulge is the crux. Joins with Red Eye at a bolt anchor below the prominent offwidth.

A piece of work. The sidepulls after the crux going up left into the crack are probably the most confusing section. Great Route.

Tough moves with good rest points inbetween. Crux very crimpy or long reach. Very Fun!
