Over the Line

Power endurance rig on good stone that overhangs for most of its length. This route felt very uncharacteristic of the Stronghold.Technical stemming & hidden holds pave your way to an interesting slanted & subtle corner with a thin but intermittently useable seam. Gentle thrutches lead to some wild pockets & body tension demanding crux moves. A beautiful plate will provide brief relief before you exit the steep via a few more thin powerful moves & a pistol squat. Once you leave the ground it's on you until you reach some unique horns and glory chicken head plates high up through the last bit of overhanging terrain. Now keep it together through the last 25 feet of slab to reach the anchor. Listed as 'unfinished 5.13 project' shown as route 9 in Bok's guide. This route was originally scoped & halfway bolted by Scott Ayers ~2003. He was kind enough to show me the line in early April & provide supportive belays to finish opening the route.
