Pardon my Greek, but this route is⚡️. It was set amidst flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder.

Follow bolts and gear through tricky route finding on the delicate face staying left of the easy gully. Traverse right into the large crack/flake, fire a couple pieces, and clip bolts to the 2 bolt anchor with rings.

Start down on the left side of the wall, left of an obvious detached pillar and some bolts. Stem up and through a chimney/constriction thing and then straight up on the easy face.

Do some fun climbing up to an arete that provides some cool exposure and then pull some squeezy, slopey, interesting moves. The climbing eases up before the inconveniently placed anchor.

The route name comes from the FFA. I topped out the route in a late summer, sudden, snow squall. This route ascends a steep pink face with a splitter crack on excellent stone.

Beta alert: the route starts by scrambling up below a V-shape roof, an optional nut where the roof meets the sloped ledge protects the moves to the first bolt.  Clip the bolt and pull yourself onto the sloped ledge to the right. Clip the next bolt and pull up to a good stance just above the bolt. There are optional micro cam placements in the diagonal seam to protect the next easy moves to attain the crack splitting the face abov.  Climb the crack to just below its end and pull up and right onto a large, angling ledge. Climb up and left on the ledge until you can reach a bolt at the lip of the roof. Clip the bolt and crank up on positive holds. A 2 inch cam placement in a horizontal out right protects the next moves onto the ledge above. From the ledge, climb the slab just right of the next two bolts to another ledge and a two bolt anchor.

If overhangs, clean faces, and cracks are what you're after, don't count this route as loss! Several overhangs, face climbing, and a few crack moves make this a fun all-rounder. It took some serious cleaning, but the route is now mostly skubala free.

clipping bolts and placing gear to the top. Skub shares the

Face climbing and a reachy crux leads to easier climbing.
