Description:

This route was a stiff 5.11a until some say it was cursed with a retro-bolting job. They call it a 5.10c now, but i don't buy it (so expect more). The crux is just after the 4th bolt. Power over a bulge via aweful crimps, and wicked smears. a more difficult variation goes out right to a seperate anchor.

Crazy start

This one was definitely a tough one. Even from the start it's rough going up. Satisfying once you do complete it though. Going over the one roof is great but it'll get you pumped quick.
