Down low, foot holds were far and few.

Description 

This one climbs the thin face between the cracks on the right side of Main Wall Left and is probably the best route on this wall. Very sustained on small crimpers and vertical rock; arguably harder than the original rating, at least 5.10c in my opinion. But a very fun climb that will keep you on your toes – literally and mentally. Very difficult stances for clipping. Walk off right to descend.


Protection 

3 bolts, bolted anchor

Definitely one of the best, albeit short, routes at Box Springs. Very polished foot holds at the start, leads to sustained positive edging between the cracks. Well protected and fun.

Great climb on this wall! Fun crimp moves, start to finish.
