Description:

Sick overhang. Short people use the cheater stones to get to the starting pockets. Pump through the first couple bolts up to the first big hueco. Make the long move from it to the second big hueco. Two similar moves from the two huecos (Hippocrite is the actual spelling given to the route).

5 out of 5 stars PUMP!

Oct. 21/2011: The beta isn't too intensive, but working your feet is definitely important. Gassed out at the beginning and got spat off at the top. I want the redpoint, so I'll be back.
Apr. 4/2013: After getting thrown off this thing a couple times, over the last year or so, today I walk it. Winter training. Apparently worth it.
