This endurance climb reminds you how sustained and brutal a sustained 5.11 can be.  Brilliant movement, right out of the gate.  Face and crack holds lead to a pure face finish.  Breathe.

This line will hold your hand (and fingers) through a long journey through various sizes, pods, bulges, stances, and a slightly overhung crux to the easier finish.

A very low, crimp-compression crux through the bulge, leads to slightly easier climbing on very small crimps through the first 5 bolts.  The finish wanders between 5.10-11 arete movement to the chains.

Assault the the obvious low mini-roof.  Climb the face to a rest at the right side of the prominent ledge (40 feet off the deck).  Spider climb up the swooping arete until you arrive at a perplexing decision, near the top...will you take the thin face, or the thin arete?

Pull your way through the long face, up to a weak dihedral at the anchor.

This fine send warms up, then takes you through a technical sequence to a stance below the low-crux.  You will find the crux becomes obvious when you reach from quality slots on edging feet.  A rest, then sequential sustained 5.10 climbing to the chains, will test your endurance. 

  If you aren't smiling at the top, find another sport.

Start in a broken-up di-hedral using face holds and cracks.  Proceed up and around the arete (to the left) onto the primary face of the climb.  Continue through a sustained and technical (for the grade) remainder to the chains.

Right after the flared pods in the white crack, you transition up to the lime face.

Thoughtful movement up the long face will reward.

Begin on the face left of the arete.  Immediately move onto the arete.  Rise and repeat, over and over and over again until you reach the outstandingly exposed small roof at the top of the face/arete. Find a sidepull to clip the chains.

Ascend the wandering thin crack on mostly good feet.  Mantle the prominent ledge.  Jam up the obvious long left-facing corner crack.

Climb, following the wandering thin crack up to the prominent ledge 40-50 feet off the deck.  Suck a huge breath before embarking up the right arete of the roof (up and left of the ledge). Keep it together for 10 feet of exposed arete, to the anchor.
