Serious pump on the last crux of this one. Bring a very healthy rack to 3 inches.

I loves me the steep stuff. There are rests all this baby if you're a little creative. Sourballs raminds me of the Tilted World routes at Shortoff. Can't wait to try some of the other lines on this section of wall.

Ascent Note
Just amazing. though I dont recall it being over 110 feet, never the less a real pump fest with three crux's which have reasonable pre commit -bolder inspections. Steep and diagonal rise make it the climb to finish cus your not gonna hang here!
