The Central Scrutinizer

Description

The route follows a thin crack to three bolts on a face.

At the time, it seemed hard, like 11+, but shoes were not designed for face climbing then... it's probably a lot easier.

The name came from the war that was going on in the American climbing scene. Veedauwoo was a bastion of anti-sport climbing, yet we put this up on rappel. There was much talk that one of the big players was gone up whoop us for it... turned out he liked the route.

Location

This is off the ledge at the southwest end of the Nautilus above

Protection

I can't remember. I do recall an RP high in the crack.
