Description 

Wild Boar climbs out the big roofs to the right of Piggy. Stick-clip the first 2 bolts.
Start a bit to the right of the bolt line and climb crimps up to a v-shaped undercling in the 1st roof. Match on the undercling (or you can cross through) and head straight left to get established by the 2nd bolt under the 2nd big roof. Big, punchy moves get you out the roofs onto the headwall where the climbing remains challenging.
The route is 3 stars when it's in its "clean" state. The holds under the roof have the tendency to get dirty. The direct start has yet to be done....

Protection 

8 bolts, closed cold shut anchors
