Description 

Thin and technical old-school crimping on the bottom and big airy moves way up high. Nice and continuous with a more moderate middle section. Challenging crux to decipher with inobvious holds and long spans.

Many thanks to Aaron Chavez for his help as I bolted this and managed to drop my drill from the top of the route. Amazingly the drill landed in oak and wet dirt and survived unscathed except for a severely bent drill bit.

Location 

Left-most route. Obvious tall climb.

Protection 

9 bolts (or something like that) with 2-bolt chain anchor. Bring longer QDs to reduce drag in the middle.
