Description This has one hard pull off the ground (technical crux) and a weird move up high (endurance crux). It's a great route. This is the second route to have gone up in The Quarry.
Location This is in the middle of the wall.
Protection Cams, finger up to tight hands.

| A good gear lead and a nice warm up. The first acent was done ground up on rope solo. It needed a lot of cleaning, so it was aided a bit but the anchor was hand drilled on lead. I lowered off pulled the rope and led it clean for the FFA with a little difficulty. The first move is tricky, but once it's figured out it's not bad. The finish is a little tricky as well, but good mental preparation for some of the other gear leads at this nice little quarry. |

| I think 10c/d is a fair rating. The lower crux is no giveaway, the route is certainly pumpy, and the upper crux is probably 10a/b or so. |

| The moves are tough right from the start but there. The entire route is 'pumpy' and so gratifying when you finish it. |

| A good crimpy route from the start. The moves are all there. I found the crux to be the lieback near the bottom. After that, it gets more manageable. Another fun route on this fine climbing wall. |
