Description
This great addition to the crag follows an obvious weakness on the right side of the cave - the line of water sculpted pockets. It starts off with some easy-ish pulls to get to the obvious pockets in the seam. After that, expect to be challenged with some massive deadpoints on marginal holds, long forgotten tricks, and a very unique boulder problem to cap it off leading into the last bolt of Spinoza. The rock is great, the movement spectacular, and the holds are all really cool.
This route is infamous for seeping consistently; how else do you think those cool pockets formed? When it's dry, take advantage. It's classic American Fork pulling.
I thought it was quite a bit harder than Decades. It might warrant a slash grade of 13b/c.
Location
To the left of Spinoza, right of Decades.
Protection
7 bolts to chains not counting the 1 belay bolt to keep the rope out of the way.
