Description

A very steep route with a tough crux at the very end.

Stick clip the first bolt, then pull some 5.10 moves past sandy, rotten huecos up a slab to much better rock at the base of the roof.

Follow jugs up and right, make an exciting move to a glued on jug and rest up for the first crux. When ready, set up for a foot-cutting sequence and keep moving right to a slightly disappointing rest below the second crux. Make a long reach for a bad sloper, burl into an undercling, and fire for a huge horn jug below the hard to clip anchors.

This is a great line, with predominantly good rock and interesting movement. I guess most people just keep moving to the main wall and overlook this quality route.

Protection

Bolts and drop through anchors. Bolts in the roof are fixed with old, sun-bleached quickdraws. Be sure to inspect them!
