Description Thin, technical climbing that will keep you thinking. Plenty of ways to move through it, trick is finding the simplest. Save some gas and stretch for the last move.
Location On the face to the right around the corner from Rico Suave. Starts on or just below the five foot high ledge. Largest/most identifiable hold is the large, sloping sidepull just below the second bolt.
Protection 4 bolts + anchors.

| Short and powerful. Some nice pockets. Seemed like it might be a nice first 5.12, if you like bouldery routes. |

| In my mind the arete just left of this route (preparation H 5.12a) is far more classic. Why does P.o.R. get so much more press? |

| This route is over hyped and soft, I knew it when I did it it was just my style. In my guidebook, Preparation H was listed at 11d at the time. If it had the 5.12 grade I would have been more keen to get on it as it looks much better than POR. |
