Description Start by a large boulder with a bit of face climbing into a small left facing corner. From here stem, slap, deadpoint, and keep your head together. Very sustained and bouldery. Other known leads by John Mattson, Matt Childers, and Ty Mack placing gear on the run. Quite brilliant climbing.
Location A couple of systems right of Paradise Lost.
Protection Wires, cams...

| I remember a picture of Jonny Woodward climbing this route. That was like a decade ago or more. |

| Hi,
I lead it in June '86. As far as I am aware this was the first lead. I placed all the gear on the lead and did it ground up. Russel Eriksson and Hassan Saab belayed me if you need any confirmation. I think I may even have some pics of the first ascent somewhere.
I think Jonny did it after me.
All the best,
Craig |

| October 2011: wasp nest on this one at about 1/4 height. For me, this was strike one of two for the day. |
