Description The furthest right climb on the wall. The start involves a little weirdness, and it just continues, all the way up. Climb up lower angle rock to a large dish. Pull the dish on the left (awkward!) and continue up to anchors.
Location last route on the Stone Wall.
Protection 6 bolts plus whatever you like to put on bolted anchors

| After doing this route a few times now, I've decided that it really is only OK. Don't get sucked into doing it first because it's the easiest graded route on the wall. The awkwardness and weirdness might leave you wondering if all the routes there will be the same (which they are not).
I'll still get on it while in the area, but I'm no longer starting on it.
YMMV,

| Not as straightforward as the other routes on the wall. That said I found it to be varied (slab start then steep up higher), thought provoking, and fun. |

| Definitely an awkward climb. It felt like every single move I made was wrong and I constantly had to re-adjust my feet and hands. Usually, I can onsight 10c/d's, but I just totally burned myself out on this one. And by the time I got to the last bolt, I got into a dilemma where I climbed too far past the bolt to clip and was too tired to downclimb and ended up taking a nice whipper. We did Rotohammer and Haunted Hooks afterwards, which were a LOT more fun. Maybe just avoid this climb |
