Description

this is a really good route, with tricky technical pocket pulling and feature fondling. if the protection was modernized it would be a 3 star route.

this is the right most of the 3 routes on the central panel. start up salmon colored flakes, past a low bolt. carefully make your way upward on holds that are not 100% solid to a really high second clip. you do not want to come off here - it would be pretty bad. after clipping the 2nd bolt and getting your ducks back in a row, launch upwards through sustained, tricky sequences through 2 more bolts to the anchor. superb climbing through here.

Location

rightmost of the 3 routes on the salmon colored central panel at peg leg wall.

Protection

4 bolts and anchors. second bolt is in definite crater potential territory and you have to climb on some not-perfectly-solid rock to clip it.
