Description
It's short, it's ugly, and it's not fun in any way whatsoever. Put on some eye protection and get ready to experience the true heart of choss, as you burrow through the most horrific Entrada sandstone the desert has to offer. As sand rains down from above, more sand will blast at you from below through the wind tunnel, making you rethink any affection you ever had for Moab rock. You'd probably find better stone on the absolute worst of the Fisher Towers than on this steaming turd.
If there was an option to give a lower rating than the bomb, or perhaps negative stars, that's what this would be.
On its own, there is literally no redeeming quality about this route, and it's guaranteed to be the worst part of your day, if it doesn't make you quit climbing altogether.
I never led/freed this route, only aided it, and I hope to God I never do get on the sharp end. You probably shouldn't either. Better yet, don't even climb it.
All that being said, it does make a half decent warmup for Stranger than Fiction, if you're tired of getting flash pumped by starting your day on 5.14.
