Description

Start down low in a sloper hueco like pocket. Make a series of moves up to the crux where you hit 3 razor sharp crimpers. Move with surgical precission through these crimps up to a fun topout.

Hope your crimp strength is up!!

In my opinion, this is probably one of the best lines in this canyon.

Location

This route, from the main area and The Weeping Boulder, head right, along the trail - past The Abyss Boulder and follow the trail. There are 4 trailmarkers that lead you right to the Rib Cage Boulder where there are many various problems.
