Description Suggest change

Start up the same low-angle slab as Kingpin, getting your mind in the correct mode to constantly move and pull through hard moves as soon as the angle starts to kick back. This route is shorter than its neighbor "Kingpin", but has limited to no rests through stacked boulder problems. As soon as you leave the slab, prepare to fight to the chains. 

Kingpin is a route that required minimal cleaning and zero manufacturing, and this variation maintains that same ethos. 

Thanks to Matt Martinez for finishing the vision of the original developers on Kingpin, and to Angel Mangual for placing the anchors on this line that spurred the idea of this variation.

The route formerly known as Sandbagger: Sandbagger/Sandbagging/Sandbagged (n./adj)

Bowling-  intentionally bowling well below your ability to perform in order to gain an advantage by having a lower average.

Climbing-  when routes are much harder than their stated grade. More commonly, someone will refer to a route as being sandbagged. The term comes from implying the route feels like you are climbing it with a sandbag attached to you.
