Description:
Excellent climb, with no moves harder then 11a. Start with really fun slab into the true meat of the climb. Overhang of doom! Prepare to pump. Crux up high, so rest whenever you can, but there's an great ledge just afterwards..

Twinkie
The slab move might be smith 5.10. Maybe. The rest is fun jugs all the way with a couple holds that aren't wrapper buckets. Steep!

Sustained, pumpy
The technical slab start has scary fall potential before the first bolt, but the overhang is pure pumpy bliss. I'll be back for another attempt on this one for sure. The sheer length and angle of this route make the difficulty. Definitely not a gimmee.

Super fun!
Blew the OS when I messed up a sequence on the slab. RP my next try.

Easy climbing
But oh-so-pumpy! Figure out where the crux is and don't mess up there. You'll be fine after that until the good ledge rest. The run from the top is chill after that.
