Description 

Technical and pumpy five bolt route following obvious features up the 30 foot face. Looks a hell of a lot easier than it is.


Location 

Center of the west face and the first obvious line you see as you walk into the Cemetery area.


Protection 

5 bolts (homemade hangers), chain anchors

Thin technical face moves down low to a long reach/dyno for a sidepull at the 3rd bolt and another long reach/dyno at the 4th bolt for a jug to an easy mantle move below the anchors. Technical, tricky and stout for the grade, this one packs a lot of climbing into a short package. This is one of those routes that could feel easier if tall.

I didn't feel the need for any dynos, but the climb did require some intense footwork - very enjoyable once you can figure out the moves. The lower part will make your fingers hurt! I'm only 5'8", so your beta may differ from mine...
