Description

Another excellent endurance test, Supafly climbs a brilliant line of sculpted jugs & slopey crimps. Begin from a horizontal rail, and work left to a symmetrical pocket, from here a long reach up & right leads to slopey pockets, where another big move gains the bottom of the large hueco on the right. Mantle into the hueco for a sit-down rest. Exit the left side of the hueco, traverse left, then head up. Continue with big moves between great holds, to another good shake on the right, below an intimidating bulge. A few sequential moves over this bulge lead to a monster jug below the chains.

The top of this line can get wet after heavy rains.

Location

The second bolted line left of the obvious dihedral on the right end of the Solar Collector wall.

Protection

7 bolts to 2 bolt anchor.
