Description 

A lower face section (5.10+) gains a stance below the crux headwall where small but positive crimps lead up a slightly overhanging wall to a hidden finishing jug at the top.

Fairly continuous in nature throughout with fun moves and good protection. The anchor needs to be lowered however to prevent undue rope damage.

Location 

Located in the center of the wall, just right of Shootin' Blanks and a short ways left of Pistol Whipped.

Protection 

7 bolts, sport anchors
