Description 

Round-Up is about fifty to seventy-five feet to the climbers left from Texas Two Step (over, around and through some large boulders). The climb starts up a couple moves of suspect holds to parallel finger cracks. The right side takes green aliens. Establish yourself on the finger crack and make some bouldery moves (.11a) to gain the hand crack. Stroker hands eventually taper to .75-.5 camalot size at a horizontal break. Move up and right at the horizontal break continuing with hands to large hands to the top and a two bolt anchor. The climb is a little sandy at the bottom and the very top...but an excellent climb for the grade and very safe.

Protection 

The route takes gear ranging from small fingers to big hands. 2x Green Aliens protect the start then .5, .75, #1, #2, and #3 camalots. Doubles in the #1, #2, and #3 sizes (perhaps an additional #3 if this is a difficult hand size for you)
