Description 

This may be the coolest route on the cliff! Starts in the middle of the far left blank wall and takes good holds to the chains. Trends left from start to finish. Great movement!

I thought it was harder than 11. I fell all over the start, worked it til I pumped out at the top. Hard to see the good holds. That makes it feel as if I'm climbing something new instead of following a line...

The first 15 ft or so is a super tech moderately hard boulder problem followed by some straight forward climbing. Keep it together because the chains are guarded by another 10 foot section of powerful bouldering moves to small elusive holds. Enjoy!

Powerful, balancy moves. Esp down low.
May favor the tall? At the very least, it favors the strong. Very fun!

Amazing double cruxes, getting of the ground requires precision technique more than strength. The last crux, aka the heartbreaker, guards the chains. The last crux is somewhat elusive and if you veer more right could be harder than 12a. Once you find the key hold it flows well. Try it!!!

Hold broke today, the gaston just right of 6th draw before the dyno to the jug. It is still usable although quite dirty. Great route, sustained and harder than 11. My vote is 12a especially now with a little hold revision. Lot of soft stuff, be careful.
