This line has some nice rock and engaging movement, but a large ledge between the 2nd & 3rd bolts makes for a risky outing. The crux is basically the 2-3 body lengths of climbing directly above the ledge, and it would be hard for your belayer to keep you from hitting the ledge in the event of a fall. This would make a nice TR after climbing

, but if you're pushing your limits at the .12b grade, there are plenty of better options at Cactus.

Begin with attention-getting moves on sloping edges to summit a huge, detached flake. Once atop the ledge, traverse right to avoid blank rock. Make thin, reachy moves to get established on the wall, then contortionist high-steps and huge reaches to span the blankness between horizontal rails. A brief, juggy lieback ends at a good shake, then crank one more huge reach to a jug pocket before merging with

At the left end of Cactus, this is immediately right of the classic buttress of "
