Description

This is a proud, pure, and savage crimp line on bullet stone to the left of Bridge of Ashes. I read somewhere that Dave thought this was V11 when he did it and was surprised to find that others thought it was harder. Truth be told, it's not commonly done and is pretty stiff even for V12. Talk about playing to Dave's strengths....

Start sitting with a right heel hook around the corner.

Location

Hike up the abandoned dirt road for 5-10 minutes, and look for a big cluster on your right. That cluster will have two large boulders at the front and a corridor between them. On the right of the corridor, before you enter it, the face on the right hand rock holds this problem.

Protection

The crux is low, and that takes 2-3 pads, but it finishes tall on less-than-ideal rock (so you want a pad for the finish as well).
