Description

This is located immediately left of the popular "

Forbidden Fruit

".

This route might be a bit contrived. It starts out steep on some nice jugs, then quickly turns into a steep slab. I felt compelled to avoid using the crack on the right ("Apocketlips") which made for a couple hard slab moves. My friends used the crack, and it probably makes sense to do so. The crux comes about mid-height with some small pockets on great rock.

Being a nice route next to two of the canyon's most popular, I don't see why this route doesn't get more traffic.
