Description Suggest change

My favorite route on the crag.  Sustained tricky moves lead up a vertical. The bulging crux section at the 2nd bolt is powerful, technical and dynamic.  

Follow jugs up to the first bolt. Gain a good sucker and clip the 2nd bolt.  Crux moves on poor holds lead to a good left hand pocket and 3rd bolt.  The shallow dish handhold left of the 2nd bolt has gotten much worse from tiny pieces breaking off of it.  The crux can be climbed either slightly right of the bolt with the left hand in the shallow dish or slightly left of the bolt with the right hand in the dish. The original, harder way is left of the bolt.

Continue up the vertical face with sustained 5.11 climbing.  I move right just below the 4th bolt and then up to jugs above the 5th bolt.  Move left and up to the anchor.  It is possible climb the section past the 4th and 5th bolt in different ways.
