This is a nice route, it is trickier than it looks.

Start in a small, right-facing corner; it is excellent.

, angles right. Needs a hardman to suss out the moves.

The crux starts right off the deck, next to a bolt nearly at head height, which I skipped. Bouldery and powerful moves will find one grovelling until around the 3rd bolt, unless you have super-human-strength fingers. The route after this goes at about 5.9 after the 4th bolt.

I believe it was put up by Richard Wright, to whom much thanks is owed.

This route was bolted as a memorial to a close friend of mine who passed away free soloing in the Black Canyon.  The route's name is in his honor.  Please watch the youtube clip I have attached.  Hopefully this route will pay some tribute to him.  He was one of the best people I have ever known.

Start in obtuse corners. The crux is over the bulge at the end.
