Description 

This is the new mixed route on the 5.12 wall at Middle. A worthy addition that features similar climbing to the other routes but with a slightly different flavor. Bill called it the "smallest and sharpest" crimps on the wall. On the 2nd ascent, I "bypassed" those holds using a very long deadpoint/toss. While still hard, I personally think the cruxy business is friendlier on the tips than others on the wall and very fun.

Location 

Between App Spring and Hard Rock Cafe.

Protection 

4 bolts and 2 blue TCUs is what I used. Could use slightly larger cams if you want. Bolted anchor.
