Description This is a long 1 pitch route. Start with Mo' Verde, but after the first bolt head straight up the wall. The Colorado Climbing guidebook lists this route as a 10a, but there is only 1 or 2 10a moves in the route, mostly it is 9 moves the whole way up. The crux is in between the 3rd and 4th bolts when you are pulling on flakes(pull down, not out!). Descent: Scramble up above the anchors to top out, and then climb down the back side and around. If you have a 70m rope, you can rap it, too.
Location This is on the Wiggins Wall, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, CO Springs.
Protection 9 bolts, 2 bolt anchor (same anchors for The Youth).

| FA: Brian Shelton and Stewart Green, 2009. It is getting easier as the holds get bigger and tiny crimps become big ones. The upper part is mostly just sustained 5.9 moves... |

| 3rd bolt is ready to blow, which could result in a groundfall. |
