Description

Slimestone dream line working up the left buttress of the Sistine Grapple. Start with the two jug pockets and work up the face to the jug lined lip of the ceiling - including a telephone handle rest along the way. If you're on an unaesthestic hold, you're doing it wrong.There appears to be an open painted red dot at the base of the line - waiting for its Rotpunkt still. Namesake for the route is the pillar and patron saint of Midwestern climbing - Pete Cleveland: https://www.sdpb.org/blogs/arts-and-culture/the-down-to-earth-rock-god/.."not to sugar coat this route, but I feel pretty sugar coated in dirt right now. It'll clean up nicely." - first modern ascent 21'

Location

Left buttress of the Sistine Grapple 

Protection

Feasible lead. Begging to be bolted. TR climbable from the lip - 50 ft of rigging material.
