Description

A very tall pretty line with great features and fun movement. It is definitely worth doing once. The crux is a bouldery sequence getting past the first bulge but then the route mellows out significantly on black patina all the way to the top. The route would be great if it were more sustained and did not go over a huge bulge, creating rope drag, and obstructing the view of the belayer.

note: I would not recommend top roping this climb as the pendulum swing at the crux will cause the lip of the bulge to saw the rope

Location

one bolted route downstream of barracuda, which is the rightmost of the three bolted aretes

Protection

14 bolts to chains
