Description 

This route is a brilliant line up bullet limestone that doesn't see many ascents as indicated by the lack of chalk as compared to other climbs in the area. There are three distinct cruxes on this route. The first comes leaving the flake & pulling around the bulge to the left, the second is gaining the head wall, the third is right below the anchors. This route felt substantially harder than the 12b rating and harder than many of the other 12b climbs at Ten Sleep.

Location 

Starts at the base of a giant left facing flake about 30 ft up the hill and to climbers left of Char Char.

Protection
