Description One of the classic Tom Herbert "E" series, this is an immensely popular climb. The climb starts with technical, slick edging slowly turning into steeper pumpy edging and finally jugs towards the top. Most people head out left at the last bolt, but its possible to finish straight up on pockets. Very high quality classic.
Protection 8 quickdraws to mussy hooks
And so it begins.....

| So Mike Newheart, all ticked off at our whiney indecision, jumps on the wall literally tearing at the rock from the bowels of the earth, it's a sight to see, the toughest guy I ever met, at his toughest. The crux spits him off more than once. He lowers off mumbling "man, that's the hardest 10a I've ever been on".... |

| Good and fun 5.11 climbing all the way up. Decent rest stances can be found almost at will. |

| Fun the whole way! Crimpy and balancey at the bottom--especially for short people; juggy (relatively) and pumpy at the top. I recommend going straight up (slightly right, actually) for more fun. One of my favorite routes anywhere. |

| Don't cheat yourself by climbing out left by the last bolt. It's more fun and sustained to climb direct! |
