FA ??? I climbed Aug 1997

Description

I believe this route used to be a named 5.11d, but cannot find it anywhere.  It has a beautifully overhanging, chunky, dynamic start and a wicked crimpy face to top, all separated by a flexy roof move.

"I climbed this with Steve-the chimney sweep in '97 and returned 10/2019 with my son & friend.  It did not look like it had been climbed since '97 and I did not see it listed on Mtn Project.  If anyone else has climbed this route and/or would like to edit my post, please feel free"

Location

This route is in the alcove behind the sea-stack.  It starts on the blocky section on the wall between "Submariner" and "Black Crack" I believe.  Go up the chunk, clean the left side of the roof and crimp up the almost-blank face.  Look for a right-hand side-pull and an incredible reach.
