Description:
A fun little top rope, with some controversy as to its rating. It involves an odd but relatively easy little hump to get over at the base of the climb, then a short face. Then you walk over (past the pigeon $#!& and the thistles) and start at a series of odd pockets, move to a large pocket, then into an awkward layback. It's relatively self explanitory from there, but in no way easy, at least not for me.

Technical
First part is relatively easy with several different variations to choose from the crux happens after first face walk a little then hit the second face little pockets, (maybe chipped on the right three finger pocket...?) to a fun lay back a couple more powerful moved to the top. Very fun.

Every time I get a little further
Climbed this on top rope and did it differently every time except the top. Every time I get a little further up that face.. but I'm still about three feet from the top. Project for me.

Ascent Note
A lot harder than .11a unless there is some trick beta I don't know. I was passing through and set up a top rope on it. One of the more fun routes I've ever been on though. The last series of moves were amazing. A guide book I saw mentioned .11+ or .12a.
