Description 

Harder than it looks! This is a great problem that rewards balance and good beta more than strength.

Traverse right to left starting at the Junior Achievement Crack. The route has two distinct halves, broken up by a good crack in the middle. After a few easy moves the first half consists of techy, balancy climbing using small crimps and a mono. After the crack you have some larger holds to work with, but they are spaced far apart. The final rail is a bit pumpy after the rest of the traverse.

Overall a great problem with several thought provoking cruxes. Maybe one of the best at Table Rock?

Location 

Start at Junior Achievement and traverse left, eventually following the diagonal rail over the top.

Protection 

Pads, although for most of the route you are no more than 12" off the ground.
