Description Stunning and intimidating climbing up a huge dihedral, then a wild bear-hug crux leading to the top. Awesome!
Location On the right side of Theology Crag.
Protection take seven draws and some material to set up an anchor (there are bolts for the anchor, but if you want to top-rope the route you need to extend the anchor point)

| I led this line today and found the crux as exciting as ever. In my opinion, this route touts one of the most memorable crux sequences in the area, with the possible exception of T-Crack. Please, go do this route. Tread softly (as possible) on the middle section. Some holds may not last forever.
Also, the anchors on this route are suspect. Some new bolts might be nice. |

| The bearhug crux is unlike anything I've ever done. Crazy combination of compression strength and technique. If other routes like beggars banquet and crank start are 11c, this thing feels at least a grade or two harder. Whatever it is, wow! |

| I said the same friggin' thing to Ruckman and you know what he told me. "if it were in Little Cottonwood it would be 11a." Well now I live in Little Cottonwood and no way is it 11a. 12a maybe. Anyway, it's a rad route. One of the best. Agreed. |
