Description:

This is the first route you come to when you approach the crag and probably the steepest route at French's. Reasonably clean as of 6-'09. Big, fluid moves on good edges and sidepulls lead to a bouldery crux finish. Note: the route climbs naturally to the right after clipping the second to last bolt- it seemed contrived to try to clip the last bolt. BUT: no worries- skip the last bolt and the fall is clean if you miss the victory jug! Very fun!!!

4 out of 5 stars One of French's best

This is a "must-do" French's route for the grade- much more fun than Road Face/Rage, IMO!
