Description
If you wonder what it takes to climb this route...look up turn down for what on YouTube... lil Jon.
Climb broken but steep rock that is much more solid than it looks up to a ledge. Launch into the high quality climbing above, stemming and liebacking twin seams in a flake up to a ledge. Mantle the ledge, plug some gear and turn it up for the technical and very fingery boulder problem. From here continue up the pocketed stem box...plugging occasional microcams in horizontals. It would be possible to traverse right onto sweet dreams or left onto the finishing ledge of Flavor of the Day.... doing so reduces the grade a bit and the quality significantly.
