Description
Start on the middle of 7 Slates buttress just right of a tree. The first bolt can easily be clipped from tree protecting difficult moves off the ground (but that would only count as pink point, wouldn't it. haha!). Climb steep right leaning crack to triangular alcove. It is fairly pumpy clipping the 3rd bolt. Perform powerful moves up and right on terrible ring locks to where the crack widens. In the back of the crack are great finger jams to clip the 4th bolt. From here move up and left to gain a rest and the next bolt. Beat the pump clock and fire the rest of the route at about 5.9+ on steep terrain with big holds that are sometimes far apart.
There is a lot of climbing in 50 feet on this one. Enjoy! Recently some holds have broken/shifted decreasing the difficulty to about 11c. It is still a fun route, so get on it!
Protection
7-8 bolts plus 2 bolt anchor
TR can be gained by climbing "in the jungle" then rapping down to anchors
