Description

Get ready to pull out all the tricks...this route has a little bit of everything. Start by pulling a thuggy bulge, and then balance your way to the second bolt. From here follow a nice dihedral through cryptic sequences, alternating between delicate balance moves and power pulling. Some chossy rock near the 2nd and 3rd bolt - as well as some awkward clips - detract a little from the quality, but overall a fun route and a full value experience.

(Originally rated 12a, but that seems like a major sandbag; or maybe I just need to get better calibrated to the grades at the Pecos!)

Location

Rightmost route on the Slain Buffalo Ledge, directly above the cave.

Protection

Five bolts and a two bolt anchor. Stick clip is a good idea for the first bolt.
