Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Good pockets start things off, leading up to the bulge where the holds seem to vanish. Mantle up, or (more naturally) catch the thin holds that follow the break to the left. Moving to the right escaping to the ledge is possible but not recommended. Then work up more pockets to the finishing dihedral section that has an exciting finish. A great climb that often gets poorly rated due to the awkard mantle at the bulge.

Location 

Leftmost route on the wall.

Protection 

Bolts, Chain anchors.

Do be careful around the landing. The limestone is pretty rotten and I watched a big block crumble off as a climber stepped on it at the start.
