Description 

Start with an awkward layback, reach to single pad positive holds, then up to an akward hug/open hand pinch on a big protruding hold. From there make the big reach to a good grip just over the bulge. Surpass this obstacle then finish on thin but mostly positive holds to the anchors.


Location 

In the back room, on the east wall.


Protection 

Gym draws.

I really hope none of you take this seriously. Although, maybe we could start a new trend here on MP. Hummmhh...

Give it up while you're 'ahead' there, EVS.
Gym climbing doesn't count, period...especially on the MP.
Try rockclimbing.com for some sympathy....
Or go outside for some fresh air- chalk dust can clog the brain waves!

Really? I mean, really? What part of "I really hope none of you take this seriously" didn't you understand? Humor is lost on so many poor souls...sad.

You sandbagger.

Maybe a foothold broke or something. The chalk dust may have been particularly thick that day.

Definitely straight 11.

Strangely enough, geological forces seem to move quite quickly here, the route has completely changed in character and is now unrecognizable, it's even a different color, how peculiar.
