Description 

Nice traverse that stays pretty low to the ground. There are a couple of hard spots but it is mostly just a pump. Originally graded V8, I'm not real sure of the grade. Supposedly the goal was to link this into Grits, which if you can do the traverse should not be much harder.

Location 

This traverses the west face of the Training Wall starting on the far left and finishes around the start of Grits, though you could keep going a bit further and possibly across the entire wall.

Protection 

Pad and spotter though it stays quite low to the ground and I did not use either when I did it (how often do you take a pad up to El Rito anyway?)
