Description 

This bold, steep route is another memorable Doc Bayne adventure. Savor it.

Crank the creaky flakes to a nice crack section. Follow the crack up to a bolt and a stance. Climb past 2 more bolts(steep)into a right facing arch. Plug in a key cam or nut midway up the arch(hard to place)and blast up to jugs. Finish up the left facing crack/flake to the top.

The climbing is 4 star but the rock is less than perfect.

Location 

Starts right of "Flakes of Wrath" at a steep broken crack/flake system.

Protection 

Best led on doubles due to sharp flakes but can be done on a single with proper slinging. Small to medium nuts, cams to red BD size.
