Description
A striking and conspicuous line, The Assassin is guaranteed to stalk any weakness in your game and cut you to shreds unless you are up for a fight.
This route is burly, pumpy, and the somewhat technical evil twin to Whiplash. It also shares the same bouldery start of that route. At the third bolt where The Assassin splits left, a combination of long draws and back cleaning will help your rope flow. Enjoy a somewhat technical section as you start surfing left through a series of shallow pockets and good crimps which will lead you to an obvious break.
Shake 'em out and take a good look above you. The steeper climbing flows well on somewhat hidden holds and ends in either a huge dead point to the large "ear lobe" feature, or a couple sharp pseudo jams. Bare down for a few more intense and exposed moves over the final apex of the headwall as the angle breaks, then pick your way to the anchor.
