Description

This is a decent route which is steeper than it looks. Good easy 5.10 climbing leads to a powerful move to a pocket getting over a high bulge. Chain anchors.

The first route right of Twist of Fate. Climb low angle rock in a vague left-facing corner to a high first bolt.

Protection

Draws only.

[Hide Comment] Is this supposed to be "Sherpa James" as described in the new Limestone Bible guide? Based on the description here it is, and I'd agree with the guidebook rating of 11b. Apr 1, 2017
