Description

Probably one of, if not the best, hard route on the wall. Fun, powerful moves on the bottom, a heel hook, two (!) kneebars, and a sketchy topout all packed into 30 feet of pure Penokean climbing. What more can you ask for? Note: To the right and left of the cracks creating the "V" is off route. Beta incoming!Start at the bottom of the V and climb the right face using decent left hands and your right hand side pulling the right crack. Pull a big move to the horizontal, incut ledges just under the overhang. You can throw a knee bar to help this move. From there, gain the good ledges just over the top of the overhang, jam the left heel hook, and reach out for the large side pull on the left. Continue to the overhanging boulder thing on top. Top out for the full experience (and 3 feet of extra climbing).

Location

Between Lego Land (blocky section of wall) and the Main Wall is a small section of rock identified by the two cracks that make a "V" shape. Aerial climbs the right side of the V.

Protection

Trees for anchors up top. A static line is recommended as the trees are 10-15 feet back from the wall.
