Just above the crux; Emily about to give...

Description This route starts at a low angle ramp just left of the middle of Wind Wall. Face climb past three bolts to a crack in a groove. The crux is a tricky sequence right around the third bolt.
Protection There are 5 bolts on this route and a light rack will suffice to protect the rest. I bring a #3 camalot for a spot just above the third bolt a few small cams and a set of nuts. Chain anchors at the top.

| At the grade, one of the best routes at Mt Lemmon. |

| Great route. I only found 4 bolts and didn't place anything larger than a .75 however. |

| Absolutely outstanding for the grade - very sustained, varied movies, nice exposure! Favorite climb at the Lemmon! |

| Fun climb. First trad/mix lead of this grade for me. I only used nuts and even slung a chickenhead. I agree that the crux is around the third bolt but the rest is keeps one attentive. |

| This route is abysmally bad, and I found virtually nothing redeeming about it. The rock is solid, so I guess that's good.
The movement is terrible, the bolt placements are bad, the protection isn't great, and it's just not fun. I'd avoid it if at all possible. |

| Awwww, Peter. Too bad you had a bad time on this route. Most people like it and it's an acknowledged three star classic.
Sounds like you need a hug, brother.
There's one in every crowd. |
