Paging Dr PalmsNCalfsBurner. If Velcro Fly is 10b then this little bundle of joy is probably a pinch on the sandbagged side. Think of any move. Got it? You do it on this route.

Most fun ten in carbody
I'm new to the area, but I felt like the lower section was much harder than the top "crux". Maybe it's just a style thing, but the balanced smears and insecure palms were the highlight of the route and were much harder (and heady) than the one move at the top. Anyhow, like I said, I'm new to the cliffs and to Basalt (have typically climbing on steep sandstone) but this one was great

Top notch stemming and smearing
The upper crux is good, but the lower dihedral is the true gem.
