This route is an excellent pumpfest with a low crux and some long moves on steep rock. With this one, the key is just finding the right pace to keep the pump in check. Bring a full 60m rope and make sure to tie a knot in the end. Start on the obvious cheater pile.

The bolt at the broken crimp rail up top should get moved down so you can clip from the big crimps. Not only would it be easier to clip, but you wouldn’t get tied up in the rope making the next move. If that shit was fixed this would be one of the more Agro, rad 5.12c in the red. I wanna take nasty on Big gay al’s boat ride! Love, Rat-baby

I am offended by the route name. Homosexuality isn't a joke, it is a reality. Please change the name.

Nice to know your offended by a title of a show that encouraged tolerance of homosexuality. Out magazine, one of the most widely circulated gay and lesbian publication in the United States, listed Big Gay Al among the most influential individuals in the gay and lesbian community in 1998. Go fuck yourself you worthless fucking nazi

I’ll have to go back and climb this again when the heat index isn’t near 100 degrees, but this thing feels like a 12c bench mark. It’d give any 12d on the undertow a run for its money. I saw Scott’s vid of it this morning. The look on the dudes face just above the second bolt, yep, pretty right on. You’ll have it too. And the epic up high wondering why you cant clip from what appear to be jugs. I had to get psyched just to crank up to slam that thank god hand jam!

My partner broke a high left foot on the low crux yesterday (about the size of a loaf of bread) Heel hook beta for the win now! Rad route!
