Description:

This route goes at 5.8+, but is still a very serious undertaking, lace this thing up so you don't end up taking a grounder, others have. A great way to pass slow parties on Midway

4 out of 5 stars wonderful route... now I need to hurl...

One of my friends called this route "one of the world's most difficult 5.8s" - It was legitimately a tough lead for me, but super fun once figuring out the sequence off the deck. Nice a steep, but not terribly overhung.

5 out of 5 stars great route

this is a great route with solid pro. Big jugs and some solid finger locks to the top of Jello Tower.
Short but sweet.
