Description Awesome steep line that I found to be extremely challenging. The main thing I noted was that it simply did not look probable to pull this off at a 12a grade. You get under a bunch of roofs and hard looking stuff but if you just force yourself to believe, you will find a nice 5.11 (or maybe 12a) sequence to bring you up to the next improbable stance. Keep believing!
Location This is one route to the right of Monkey Love, which is fairly easy to spot because it is all threads.
Protection 9 clips to anchors, including 1 or 2 threads. My guide indicates this was last rebolted in 1997, but when I did it in 2005 I didn't note any apparent rust on the bolts.

| New bolts as of early '07.
Devious and sustained, with multiple cruxes.
Perhaps harder than Caveman and nearly as good. |
