Pretty sure I climbed this years back - definitely one of the more fun routes on the 40

Not hard, just pumpy

Blew OS due to sloppy climbing on the easy part :(

This is an awesome route. steep jugs and really interesting holds. I didn't ever use the hand jam though, I guess is skipped it.

Well the start sure was tricky. ***Beta Spoiler: knee bar your right knee by the good hold at the end of the roof on the right. Then you can move your hands into position and finally bring your left onto the first ledge. The crux was definitely sequenced for me, and the fat hand jam has a hold that you can just crimp and layback with your left hand. I was pumped before I started the climb. GREAT climb though.

Great route. More sustained than most routes on the 40.

real fun
