Route Info

From Ix: I love this route- this is an extremely fun and difficult challenge with multiple boulder problems.

Features a daunting horizontal karate-kick type move across overhanging rock with a few holds (crux 2), in which you smear to traverse right, upward, then to the left, the final crux (3) is a huge leftward smear stretch through the vines, quickly scrambling across to the ledge before you can rest, then top out.

Despite buffs not being required, I recommend using pitons, chalk, or other buffs, along with a healthy dose of practice and observation of the route, it's okay to fall, even on the first crux.
