Description
**New Route not in Guidebook**
This thing is a beauty. Do yourself a favor and don't meander onto the routes on either side. Go straight up from the first bolt to the anchors. Four distinct (and fairly hard) boulder problems are interspersed with really good rests. A tricky side-pull cross on the first, an impossibly thin seem on the second, a compression bulge on the third, and then a glorious pull straight out of the big roof at the top. Trust me, this route is worth scrounging up 16 draws. Yes 16 f***ing draws. It can be done with a 60m (a true rope stretcher), but you might feel better with a 70m.
