Description 

A stellar tuffa line.

Start up the delicate slab and over a small low roof. Continue up the lower angle face to the base of the steeper wall above. Grab the bottom of the tuffa features and look up, try not to wet your pants. Pinch your way up the right tuffa line and when the left line is big enough to move to make the transfer. Follow this collonette up the wall to a break and some jugs. Attack the curtain of tuffas above, so many choices but the are not all good. Fight your way through this to the anchors at the top.

Location 

This route follows the most obvious line in the middle of the wall. The name is also written at the base of the route. It starts right of a raised platform that the previous routes start off of.

Protection 

Bolts to a bolted anchor.

The line starts out slabby and gets steadily steep...

Stellar tufa-action near the top.
