Description
This route starts out climbing a right leaning crack (crux) and continues through some large huecos and ledges. In the Handren guidebook, this route is referred to as "Need to Rest," but Mike's original name was Idiot Parade.
Location
This is the last route on the right side of the lower corridor, if you enter from the bottom. It is located just before the dividing boulders.
Protection
Several bolts up to new chains.

Great route but keep moving as it can be a pumpy little thing! Once you make it to the large obvious hueco you should be home free!

I really enjoyed the moves on this route! We had no idea what it was but the big hueco looked appealing so we had to give 'er a go. The upper edges looked like they could be slopers but are quite positive. This is nice because it feels steep! The knee bar in the hueco is cool.
Good Eye Mr. Moore! This is perhaps the best 5.10 in the Black Corridor...IMHO. This route is surprisingly pumpy for such a short climb....especially since it has a no-hands rest in the hueco.
