Rockfax Description
A route that has such good moves that it deserves 3 stars in spite of the fact that the line is a bit close to Too Much Pressure at the top. Climb a crack past a bulge, traverse left on good holds then climb up some thin cracks to a no-hands rest. Step left and climb another crack to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Pulled a hold off right at the top, in the break 2" below the finishing ledge. Doesn't change the route. I think we cleaned out all the loose crap but take care; it's vertically above the base of too much pressure. | βeta? | |

βeta: I've failed to clean this route 3 times, even though it's supposedly the easies tof the upgraded E3s. I'll be back for another go though. | βeta? | |
