The Emperor's New Clothes

Description

A technical, just under vertical route up an eye-catching black streak.  Expect small pockets and features, lots of footwork, and a wandering line that keeps you thinking and searching for ways to progress upwards.

Step off a large boulder and tweak past the initial crux using small pockets to a horizontal break.  An easier but confusing section weaves past a shallow scoop, and some spaced edges to welcome finger bucket and a long section of easier but balancy climbing to another horizontal break below a small roof.  Pull over roof(beware of the large loose flake!!!) and jaunt up edges and pockets to rap bolts.

Overall a great route.  Personally, this felt like 5.11 so be ready for more of a challenge than the proposed grade suggests.

Location

In middle of Lower Tier area.  Look for a rock formation with pretty black streak.

Protection

Bolts to rap anchors. No chains.
