Description 

A surprisingly good bolted line on the far side of the Whiskey wall. Some hard moves off the deck take you to some jugs and past the first two bolts. The third bolt is a horizontaly reachy clip(hollow rock closer in...). Some crimps, a finger lock, and a good side pull take you up to some jugs and a mantley finish.


Location 

Far left side of the Y wall.


Protection 

Four bolts to a two bolt anchor.

Great route! Short with very technical climbing. The sequence through this climb is superb. I took a nice whipper while trying to clip in the crux. I will get back to it soon and finish her clean.

Harder than it looks and technical. Will test your on sight ability.

This was my first 5.11 on lead. Awesome route! It's so rewarding getting past the hard boulder problem off the ground...I grunted my way through it :)

FYI, I saw a guy lead this on gear in the mid to late 90's. I wanna say he thought it had been climbed before him. Its probably a lot more palatable with bolts and he may have stayed more left after the pine tree. It's one of the few routes there I haven't been on.

Some hangers are loose, bring a wrench. I will when I do but I'm not sure when I will make it up again.

Would be 4 stars if the third bolt was a touch left. Really fun movement anyway.

Loose nut on the second bolt, didn't exactly have wrenches on me at the time, so climber beware. However, great route, really didn't expect to enjoy it so much.
