Description 

Pull through a short bit of typical-for-UEF chunky rock down low using some nice, solid huecos for three bolts to a big ledge. Traverse right and up on the ledge to clip another bolt and swing out left on steep rock but with big holds. Continue up trending right past a couple more bolts to a pronounced, hard to read crux on overhanging rock in a green streak. Finish in a small left-facing corner and crack.

Location 

Nguvu has a shared start consisting of three bolts with Fear of the Dark, then move right on the big ledge. The green streak up high is easy to identify.

Protection 

7 bolts to a two bolt anchor with carabiners and rap rings.
