Great moves
This was the second route we climbed at Fronton. Short but very fun, with some really fun movement including a free standing pillar handhold that is like grabbing a jail bar, and a neat undercling move at the crux. Fun little line worth climbing for sure! Stainless bolts were in good condition as of Dec 2015.

Ascent Note
This aptly named route seems to be created from ancient black coral and features a leviathin resembling rough black skin embued with white barnacles. It had me feeling as though I was actually climbing over the belly of the beast. It is a short but sweet route, which I note can be topped, with one nice move out of an underhanging position. But other than that pretty much cake.
