The Sting

Description

This route follows the incredible black streak to the right of Flight of the Bumblebee. Climb decent holds up to the 2nd bolt, which is difficult to clip, and then tackle the v9-ish crux on tiny pockets, crimps and one very strenuous undercling. After that you have a slight rest followed by a v4 redpoint crux, requiring accuracy to a 3-finger pocket off of some crimpy sidepulls. After all of that, enjoy great 5.9 climbing for another 30 feet or so. The line is 4 stars, but I only gave it 3 because the crux is such an ass-kicker.

Protection

9 bolts, open cold shut anchors.
