Description

Did you read that 'Drilling Me Softly' was the best route ever? Well that's a flat lie. Whoever wrote that is a liar. This route is way better. If Ondra, Sharma and Honnold got together and devised a route to bring all their celebrity climbing friends to, this would be it. Prepare to climb better and get stronger by just looking up at this route from the belay. I've heard that by climbing this route, afterwards, you will be able to climb at least 1 grade harder. That's a number grade, not a letter grade. Put that in your pantry with your cupcakes.

Start left of the bolt line and then go directly over the little nose off the deck...straddling the front of it with a cheval-like move. This will make the clipping and rope travel make sense. It will also make your crotch feel like it's in mortal danger. If the rope is wack, your beta is smack.
