A surprisingly fun route, Teenagers in Heat starts on some great pockets for 4 bolts before going to more technical climbing of edges and sidepulls. The first half of the route is slightly overhanging with great pockets. Angle backs off at the 4th bolt with a great rest before the technical ending. Don't be afraid to wander a little up top.
Location
Teenagers in Heat is just to the right of Physical Therapy and starts just below the stone retaining wall, behind the tree at the base of this wall. It's the third climb from the right of the big dihedral offwidth crack to the right of Deep End.
Pockets are pretty good at the start, but the face section up above has gotten really chossy (especially to the right). I'd avoid it, there is enough great rock at Division that you're not missing anything here.

I like this route a lot. The thin, balancy crux at the top is exciting and a world apart from the pumpy start. Easily TRed from the 9.

I used to really hate this climb and when I sent it some time ago, I swore I would never do it again. Well...I was talked into doing it again and found that I really like it. If you have good footwork, I think this makes the crux a lot easier. I guess if you eat your spinach long enough you'll eventually like it.
