Description Suggest change

Admittedly awkward but in an endearing way, in my opinion. Stem your way up the initial groove seeking out the good holds along the way. Jam a short section of crack and break out left onto the upper face. A few delicate moves up this low angle face get you the prize. Success!

don’t hesitate to stick clip the second bolt. Due to rock quality issues the bolt spacing is a little wider than some routes and the second bolt can be an awkward clip. 

Location Suggest change

As you walk the base of the cliff left to right , step over/around the fallen tree below Crushing Darkness. Look for a wide groove. Clip bolts up the stemming groove and then up and left. 

Protection Suggest change

5 bolts to pigtails
