Upper crux.

Description This route tackles the smooth face just left of a major left-facing corner (about 50 yards north of The Apple Bites Back). It's a sustained 5.11 face climb to a killer crux at the top.
Protection 10 bolts. It's long, but you only need a 50m to lower.
About to start the first crux section.
| Midway up the route.
| A tricky section.
| Basically done.
| Not the best clipping holds.
| Approaching the first (easiest) roof on Phase Danc...
| Mike wishing he had sunglasses for the upper crux.

CONDITION REPORT | The top anchors were looking pretty shitty as of today. |

| Very tough crux bulge to flash. |

| This route has 10 bolts on it and the Shelf Road guide states 7 bolts. Luckily for me I was hang-dogging it a bit up top and could back clean a couple of draws for the final two clips. :-) Enjoyable route for sure. |

| I thought this was a great route very sustained with a nice jug before the crux. Hard to figure out at first but not bad with good beta. |

| Very tough onsight. Hell, it was hard after I took at the crux, lol. Tricky, but awesome and very unique. Stays with you the whole way. |

| Hitting the crux in sequence is very difficult, a take/fall at bolt eight lets you cheat the beta pretty hard. |
