The face of Strike a Scowl, NRG.

Description Perhaps too popular. It is one of the only places on Endless Wall that might(on a busy day) have a line.
Originally a 5.10d R trad line, it was bolted by accident due to poor communication, however, the FA-ers agree to just let this classic line stay bolted.
Start from the leaning block atop the giant boulder, climb the cool face straight up to anchors. Clipping the anchors is the crux if you go left, if you go right it is substantially easier.
Location Climb the east face just right of the arete of Diamond point and just right of the flake of Supersymmetry (5.7 X)
Protection Bolts to Anchors. Topout-able with some ease.

| I finally led this thing. A while ago my friend led it and I had respect for his lead, but leading it myself woke me up to what he did. I'm 5'7" and so is he, so he had to climb up to the first bolt. This means that if you screwed up and fell, you'd probably pitch off the boulder you're on (which is about 30 feet up) and pull your belayer off with you, unless they had the foresight to anchor themselves. After that it's just a contemplative route and you don't have to worry about falling, despite the fact that you're standing on dime edges much of the time.
And to comment on the popularity of the route, this had a 3hr line on Labor Day weekend! |

| Do this route... if you can get on it! My favorite warm-up in the area. A stick clip might be smart for the first bolt. Starts off hard and eases as you progress. |
