Description
This route personifies my experiences with the 2020/2021 COVID school year. This fun line has two different style cruxes and is pretty sustained except for the ledge at half height. It starts with a steep and powerful crux boulder problem for the first 3 bolts and then switches over right to the deceptively steep headwall after the ledge. Off the ledge, engage in another technical crux, and fight the pump up the head wall to the anchors.
This route is hard to grade due to the different styles of the cruxes. A short and strong climber may think it's closer to 5.11b, whereas a tall and technical climber may consider it 5.11c (or harder), which is why I put it at 5.11b/c.
*Developer's note: I'll be the first to admit that I botched the bolting on sections of the route. I never fully worked out the moves at the cruxes prior to bolting it. For example, after giving it a go, I quickly noticed the ankle-breaking potential off the ledge, so I added another bolt to protect the leader (it is sport climbing after all). So, you can enjoy very well-protected cruxes on this super fun and super safe route.
