Description
I can't believe this route isn't on here yet! what an amazing ground-breaking route. three distinct boulder problems, separated by good rests make up this route. each boulder problem is harder than the previous one. the final boulder problem revolves around the "iron cross" move, which seems so low-percentage, and when you stick the dyno after, your body goes almost completely horizontal. Amazing! all on traditional gear, and the FA was 1978!!!
Location
This route starts following the sister crack system to the right of Criss, about 30 feet right of criss cross direct.
Protection
There is just enough gear on this route to make it "G", however if you miss a key piece, you might find yourself in dangerous terrain. the start is best protected by a bouldering pad and a good spotter, the middle of the route protects well with a standard rack, and the upper crux is protected well is offset cams.
