Description 

This is a good route with some fun, juggy climbing sandwiched by harder sections with smaller holds. It shares an anchor with the route to the right.


Location 

It is located on the right side of the Notch as you walk into it, 15 feet left of the arete. This is the leftmost of three routes that all share the same anchor.


Protection 

You may want a finger-sized cam to protect the moves getting to the first bolt, or you can use a stick-clip. From there, clip three bolts on your way up the wall.

An Alien will work best for the slot below the bolt, but also a yellow C3 does okay. The move up to where you can clip the bolt (painted) is definitely easier if you have a long reach. You do not want to blow this move without the cam or stick clip, nasty landing in my opinion.

Move for move, the best thing I did in this area. Continuous, contemplative and steep climbing on solid rock.

Too bad it is not 40 feet longer, it is fun climbing, glad you enjoyed it. BJ had everything in place, hurt his finger so I was able to swoop in for the FA (with him belaying):)

I just wanted to add that there are more than three routes on this wall now, so the directions "the middle of three routes on the wall" is a bit deceiving. Look for the climb with the high first bolt and a small crack about 8 feet off the deck. It is the leftmost of three climbs that share the same anchor.

Awesome, thanks for the update. Any beta on the climb in-between this and The Art of Breaking? Looked a bit harder but we didn't try it. Looks like someone has been busy in the Notch! Lots of new climbs.

It's called Lethal Injection, supposed to be 11b, haven't checked it out yet. Definitely a lot of new stuff, Jeff is one motivated dude!
