Description 

This route is pretty pumpy throughout. First clip isn't easy, third is even harder. The book shows the crux at the third bolt. This was definitely hard, but not the crux. Getting above the fourth bolt seemed a lot harder, as you were dealing with slopers and thin crimps to pull the lip.


Location 

This is the left route of the two that share the anchor left of Urban Sprawl.


Protection 

5 bolts and chains

Awesome route! There is a hidden sidepull to unlock the crux. If you don't find it (took me about 7 tries to do so) good luck getting to the 5th bolt!

Fun once I figured out the cryptic moves.

Awesome route! The bolts look far apart from the ground but there are big jugs in between bolts.
Clipping bolt #3 is the crux with a little secret hold you need to find.

Enjoy!
