Description

This short, attractive route offers good rock, and steep pockets with a crux near the top.

Good holds, and fun moves lead to a good rest at mid-height. Punch it through a bunch of slopey edges and pockets to better holds below the anchors.

Would be a classic if it was a bit longer.

Location

Just left of an arete.

Protection

5 bolts to two bolt anchor

[Hide Comment] The sequence of 4 slopers at the crux (2/3 of the route) explains why it's not a 11.c, but 11.d.
This route is short and fun. Be sure to arrive as fresh as possible for the powerful crux boulder problem. Sep 8, 2020
