Description 

Once at the Pile area, this route is directly to the right of Gomer Pile and shares anchors with it. Getting up to the third bolt is pretty easy, with it being 5.10 climbing. Clipping the fourth bolt is a challenge as you're on a small, somewhat slopey hold. After that, is the crux of the climb, then huge jugs the rest of the way up.

7 draws.

I think this route is fantastic! One of my favorite 12's. I used a right undercling on the crux, that had zero chalk but was actually pretty good and an intermediate to get to the clipping crimps.

Really fun climb. Dyno past the 4th bolt off the crimp to the somewhat hidden jug up and left. Great ending move.

Cool route. One move wonder at the top. The rest is probably 11c climbing.
