Description The climb starts with some techy moves then eases up for a bit with some fun movement to a roof in the middle of the route, here the difficulty increases, pull through this roof then up some more techy face climbing to some good holds. Try to recover here as the climbing gradually becomes more inverted to a second roof at the top of the wall, pull this roof and make a couple moves to the anchors. Probably want a 70m rope, though it looks like a 60m will barely get you down.
Location Two routes to the right of the Riddler and just left of Riders on the Swarm.
Protection 14 or 15 bolts to biners at anchors

| Great route that climbs over really fun features. Let me rephrase that: AMAZING ROUTE! Definitely one of the best on the wall. |

| Really cool climb with great variety and it goes on forever. Low angle delicate face, powerful moves over the bulge and roof moves at the end. We got off using a 60M but just barely. |

| Got on this route again at the end of two days of climbing. Wow does that popcorn stuff hurt. I decided to take a star off of it because of how unpleasant the holds are above the bulge. |
