Description

John Steiger who wrote the first climbing guidebook to Mount Lemmon spied this line after top-roping Bring on the Billionaires. He nearly tagged the FA but the final crux made him fly. This route fits tightly between the climbs on either side. It begins on slightly overhanging rock with good holds and climbs up just right of Bring on the Billionaires for 2/3rds of the route. This portion of the climb is really good. in order to add another crux and not finish on Bring on the Billionaires we tried to go up a very smooth headwall. Perhaps the extraordinarily tall could pretty easily climb over the bolt. We did a hard thin traverse right all the way to the upper crack on Bring on the Christians. You can also finish on Bring on the Billionaires and avoid the very stout finish Finissh it this way and it is a three star 5.11.

Location

Between Bring on the Billionaires and Bring on the Christians. A short staircase left of an easier looking corner.

Protection

9 bolts and 2 steel lower off biners.
