Description Suggest change

This incredible line is even better than Cannibals and my favorite sport climb in the Tahoe vicinity. Start the same as Cannibals but after the second bolt float straight up with brilliant sequences utilizing high friction crimps, opposing side pulls and slopers, and a few deceptively flaring pods. Again the footwork will determine success or agony. Trust the crystals and an obligatory heelhook. Slightly runout but easier climbing leads to a 12a finger and hands crack system for the second half of the climb which may leave you whipping and whimpering if you don't work out the sweet spots.

Protection Suggest change

7 or 8 bolts and 2 for the anchors.

This has also seen at least 2 all trad ascents that I know of and is felt to be at least 5.13b R with the first piece probably 20-25 feet off the deck. Nico Favresse may have claimed the first around 2006 but I'm not certain.
