Description

This is a fun and pretty steep/pumpy route!  Fairly easy to set up as a top rope.  Some will find this route a bit "heads up" to lead: don't blow any clips, and bring a rack of singles from small tcus  to #3 camalot.  Maybe 11c for the onsite lead.  There are very few easier moves on this thing.  First move off the ground is tough, and it gets harder.  Crux in the lower third of the route, and is a bit mysterious to find the sequence of moves in a timely fashion.   Especially the move getting past the second bolt.  Funky route finding at the end.  If you like 5.11 dells climbing, and have not done this, it is a worthy route!

Location

This climb is on a 40 foot wall, which is 50 feet left of the co-op crack.  It is the only route with bolts on this wall.  It faces west.  

Protection

Bolts and gear.  Bring a smallish rack from tcus up to a #3 camalot. There are 3 or 4 bolts. Throw a cordelette or very long sling around a big horn at the top for the anchor. Back up the horn with some gear if you feel the need.
