Description Requires two rappels if you are climbing with only one line!
This Route can be done in one or two pitches and offers one huge pump if you sack up and go for it in one pitch.
The climb goes at a hard 5.10d if you aid the lower crux, so the crux isn't the pump it is the technical start and the demanding footwork it requires.
Climb the steep face using flakes, liebacks, crimps and big moves to gain not great holds for small rests along the way.
The crux is at the third of 12 bolts.
Location The big red line on the left/center portion of cliff, 30' right of Wild Thing(5.13).
Protection 12 bolts to anchors.

| .....except that it's a bolted crack. This pitch IS fantastic, but the bolts are a shame. |

| Ya I'm not sure what Bob was thinking. He explained it to me but.....
ANYWAY a GREAT climb. On cathedral it would have 1-2 bolts and be 5.12 |
