Description

This is a somewhat squeezed route one route right of

Easy Skankin'

in perhaps the most gridded out sector of the anti-Phil Wall. Nevertheless, it's long, pumpy and fun, with some very cool pocket climbing on the upper headwall.

Start as for I'm Not Worthy (13a) but continue straight up into funky, triangular corners. As the angle increases so does the difficulty, culminating in a cruxy roof. Turn the roof, rest and punch it up the black headwall, staying slightly left of the bolts on crimps (the original line stayed right on brushed-off sidepulls at 13a but is contrived). You'll be sharing a few holds with

Easy Skankin'

at one point -- that's just how it goes!

The start is basically the lowest start off the ramp on nice black and tan stone. A popular 12d link up is the first 4-5 bolts of Philosophy into the top of

Philistine

. Ask a local for beta.
