Description
A technical, just under vertical route up an eye-catching black streak. Expect small pockets and features, lots of footwork, and a wandering line that keeps you thinking and searching for ways to progress upwards.
Step off a large boulder and tweak past the initial crux using small pockets to a horizontal break. An easier but confusing section weaves past a shallow scoop, and some spaced edges to welcome finger bucket and a long section of easier but balancy climbing to another horizontal break below a small roof. Pull over roof(beware of the large loose flake!!!) and jaunt up edges and pockets to rap bolts.
Overall a great route. Personally, this felt like 5.11 so be ready for more of a challenge than the proposed grade suggests.
Location
In middle of Lower Tier area. Look for a rock formation with pretty black streak.
Protection
Bolts to rap anchors. No chains.
