A sharp but alluring line on the beautiful 45-wall overlooking the river. Sit start at the base of the seam and climb shouldery moves to set up on two sharp incuts. Bomb to a pocket, or further to a jug, then romp the tall upper face of jugs to a true summit and one of the best views in the canyon. Downclimb the 5.2 arête.
2nd ascent 16 years after the FA! The FA did a very difficult and morpho move at the beginning that I worked around with a new sequence. For me, it felt like a V8 into a single-move V6. Generating for the last move is very strange and quite tricky, however. *I recommend pre-taping for a couple of the sharp holds. I taped the tips of my middle two fingers on the right hand, and the middle pads on my index and ring fingers for the left hand.
