Description

One of the best hard pure lines in Tennessee. Sit-start on a large diagonal jug. Pull on and move up to a deep three-finger pocket before going big to a good sloper. Figure out how to bring the right hand up before doing a hard shouldery move up to a bad pinch. Once on the pinch fire out right to a good sloping sidepull.

From here the most powerful and difficult moves are over, but the climbing still continues. Climb up the rest of the face with good footwork and a good head on holds that aren't exactly jugs. These moves eventually lead to an exposed and airy mantle a few feet off the deck.

Location

Located facing the trail on the downhill side. This problem starts on a low jug about eight-ten feet right of the thin crack.

Protection

Ideally, eight pads and a spotter.
