Over the Line

Power endurance rig on good stone that overhangs for a good length. This route felt very uncharacteristic of the Stronghold.

Technical stemming & hidden holds pave your way to an interesting slanted & subtle corner with a thin but intermittently useable seam. Gentle thrutches lead to some wild pockets & body tension demanding crux moves. A beautiful plate will provide brief relief before you exit the steep via a few more thin powerful moves & a pistol squat. 

Once you leave the ground it's on you until you reach some unique horns and glory chicken head plates high up through the last bit of overhanging terrain. Now keep it together through the last few bolts of slab to reach the anchor. 

Listed as 'unfinished 5.13 project' shown as route 9 in Bok's guide. This route was originally scoped & halfway bolted by Scott Ayers ~2003. He showed me the line in early April & provided supportive belays to finish opening the route.
