Description An extraordinarily good line that moves up overhanging stone on big slopers. Several big moves take you over a roof, where the grade eases off - but there is more 5.11 above to keep you engaged.
This route is probably a bit stiff for 12a. Welcome to the Red Wall.
Protection 7 bolts.

| Did this one today and it was a real treat. I thought the hardest moves were getting past the slopers just above the 1st bolt. What followed proved just as enjoyable. Nothing like steep low textured jugs to win you over. Cool line. I wish it was about 30 feet taller!! |

| Great route! Tricky off the ground and a great crux sequence. |
