Description

This is an interesting new route that requires a lot of technical trickery (knee-bars, heel-toe cams, thumbdercling-gastons, etc.) and serious bouldering strength. There are four well-defined boulder problems, all with their own unique flavor, separated by good rests.

The route climbs a lovely, gently overhanging white face capped by a big, steep, blocky bulge. Right off the ground (or cheater stone, I should say) the opening sequence is straight cryptic. From there, technical and pumpy face climbing will bring you to a good rest below the final bulge. Try to get it all back, because the final boulder problem is very physical and gymnastic, ending with a desperate deadpoint to the "jug" you clip the anchors from. Adding to the excitement, it is almost impossible to clip the last bolt on redpoint, forcing you to skip it and go for the anchors!

I would have loved to take this route to the top of the cliff, but unfortunately the upper headwall is covered in a thick layer of mud, forcing me to end it at the lip of the bulge.
