| This route starts up a low 5.10 popcorn covered face to a no-hands rest below an interesting tufa curtain. At the tufa curtain things get more challenging, good pinches and underclings allow you to clip the bolt under the roof. A strenous cross from underclings to another smaller undercling allow for a challenging clip of the fixed draw. Here the crux starts and I was mystified, there is a jug just out of deadpoint reach for me, and the other holds are small and far apart. Seemed very Kryptic, any beta would be appreciated. After the jug a few powerful cranks lead over the second roof and a techy low angle 11+ / 12- face climb to the anchors. Not a bad route but not as classic as some of its neighbors on Tufa City. |
