Description

This sea beast will make a salty dog of ye yet, buckle up for one of the longest single pitch climbs in Arkansas. This route features several technical cruxes in the first half and a wild encounter passing through a couple roofs near the top. Thankfully right before you're thrown into the overhanging swells you get a sit down rest in a cave to get yourself psyched for the steeps 100' off the deck. Stick the redpoint crux at the second roof and finish up with wickedly good grips to the anchors.

Location

This route starts on a vertical face just below a dihedral 30' up the wall with a tree in it. This route sits 20' to climber's right of Hellbender.

Protection

~18 bolts. Fixed anchors. Mandatory 70m; tie your knots.
