A quintessential crimpy block right next to The Subway that you can actually top out! Very sharp and super technical.

Stand start with a high right hand pinch/sidepull and a oddly shaped low left hand that is a mix between a micro crimp and a pinch.

Use sharp crimps to work your way up and slightly left.

The sit start adds around 2 grades and begins with the same left hand as well as a lower right hand divot/crimp that could be described as a good foothold.

Most of the holds are excellent quality on bullet rock and can be quite sharp (Hence the route name). One crimp in the upper section sounds hollow and could potentially break in the future, but was not used in the first ascent and did not budge during several working sessions.

Tread lightly at the topout as there appears to be many blocks that have broken off in the past, but nothing additional has broken during several sessions in 2021 & 2022.

The boulder area is in the sun but the line itself receives no direct sunlight throughout the summer.

Center line of the Bloody Soil boulder. If you are walking downhill through the main Subway tunnel, the boulder will be about 30 yards to your right as soon as the area opens up with Subway Roof (V6) on your left.
