Description:
Climb Karate Crack (10a) to its end, then head straight up. Long route, need a 70m at least to get down. Climbs really nice, with crimpy cruxes intermixed with good edges and pockets. Generally accepted that if you go left at the first crux to bypass, it's 12a; if you climb straight at the first crux (just past the 2nd bolt) it's 12b. Harder than "Vision" or "Latest Rage" due to the pump factor

Awesome route
Fell off twice after clipping the last draw, and once at the lower crux before sending on the fourth go. Great, great route!

Ascent Note
You may want a big piece (maybe 4") for the pod 6 feet above where the crack ends. Not necessary, but it's a lot more comfortable that way.
