Description 

This route is great if you're looking for an all out power endurance challenge. Give yourself an extra letter grade of credit if you're able to send while hanging the draws!

Its a smart idea to stick clip the first bolt before traveling through some suspect rock. Don't be surprised if you find yourself locking off on slopers to make each clip. It seems like each clip is harder than the one before it.

Move quickly through continuous slopers with hardly any holds to shake out on. There aren't really any big moves on the route. The challenge arises from managing the pump while moving from sloper to sloper.

Location 

This route is around the corner from psycho wrangler. Look for nice orange rock on a 20 degree overhang.

Protection 

5 bolts + anchor
