Sex Pistol

Sex Pistol, is the middle line on Punk Rock and has two 5.12 cruxes. The first 5.12 crux is traversing left through bulges past bolt 5 with a good rest under the roof. Climbing above the roof is a hard 11+ move, but now you encountered more 12 climbing up the red groove on the face for some very thin, elegant moves. Escape left out the groove at bolt 10, then up and back right passing two more bolts for a 5.10 airy finish to the anchors. Many people miss the second and best part of the route after taking the roof by escaping to the arete on the left and following it to the anchors (5.10). People who take this escape call the route 5.12a, but miss the 5.12 climbing found by going up the red groove.

14 quickdraws. Chains with biners are on the two bolts under the roof.
