Breaking the Shield

An amazing and consistent rock climb on a steeper-than-it-looks wall. This route begins with some thuggy moves on jugs as you start building a pump, with the first tricky section greeting you on the first half of the route. There are a few opportunities to shake in the mid-section before committing to the shield portion of the route while powering past some crimps and riding the giant fin-like feature at the top. This route is not characterized by any one move, but the crux is hanging on to the top!

This route is on the gently overhanging wall to the right of Yin Yang.
