Description
This is the zig-zag route which is on the side of the buttress/face that has Erotic City. Personally, I think this is the best route at this small crag. The climbing is reachy, challenging, continuous, interesting, engaging, and exciting. A few of the moves are powerful, and you have to hang in there. The hardest moves may be at the start. At the top, there is a move past a bolt that stumped Hidetaka Suzuki for a few moments; he didn't get it his first try. If you climb at this grade, this is a worthy climb.
