One of Smith's finest sport routes combines Firing Line and Power Dive in a single pitch. A retro-bolt makes the connection between the two routes far safer, though you'll still take a long fall if you fall off 5.11+ climbing.

5 stars. Such a beautiful climb, the perfect mix of pumpy climbing and rests, really stoked for a flash.

Fucking bad-ass route. 25+ minute marathon rope-stretcher. 1st redpoint go after a few hangdog and TR sessions.
