MapDescription
Start off with a few tough pulls on pinches and sidepulls to gain a decent shake at the first break in the wall. Climb a few more bolts of sidepulling and clip up before taking on the crux. Gaston, crimp, and sidepull your way through the crux on some bad, slopey holds. The exit of the crux may require some dynamic movement. Get another rest at the break and climb easier terrain to the anchor.
This route is lesser traveled but is well worth getting on. It had a reputation for being sandbagged at 12c and the grade seems to have settled at 12d.
Location
At the far left side of the crag, just right of a wide chimney (Catholic's Traverse, 5.8) are two bolted lines on an overhanging section of rock. This is the route on the left.
Protection
9 bolts to bolted anchor
