Proposed Route:

This is a steep and fairly sustained route on beautiful rock. It has many sections of 10+ and 11 climbing with tricky sequences and thin feet. The crux is pulling through the final bulge up high past the 5th bolt, where the pump factor can start to weigh in. It could serve as a nice warm-up if you are going to Discipline or Cornucopia, though it is a fun route to do on its own.
