Description
Climbs left of Tufa King to the first set of chain anchors. All of the business is from bolts 2-4. Pinches, sidepulls, and underclings will get you to a good rest around bolt 5. From here move right then straight up or 2 bolts or so, before going up and left for the final moves. Don't underestimate the pump on this one. The last 3-4 holds are very positive but can feel bad on pumped arms. Recommendations: Belay from the lower level, left side of the palo verde. Bring up a stick and pre-clip bolts 1 & 3. Belayer should give a soft catch to ensure the climber clears the roof on a fall. Beware: I don't think this route has seen much action, as it is still very much shedding rock. Be careful as the climber and wear a helmet as a belayer. Note: There is a bolted extension thought to go at around 13b, unclear if that has been sent.
