Description

This route is just right of Righteous and the Wicked. It starts out on a blunt arete and climbs up past crimps and pockets on vertical to gently overhanging rock for the first half.  It is very continuous and technical with no real crux, just an ever increasing pump and fun moves.  If you move to the right down low you can get a great rest on a jug in the middle of this otherwise continuous section.  The conventional wisdom is that this is off route, but this is not a climbing gym so do as you see fit.  The 13a grade assumes that you don't use this rest.  There is a lower angle section next with great rests which are necessary for the upper prow.  This last section is mostly big holds with great movement and 2 crux sections that keep you honest, the last being from the last bolt to the anchor

Location

Right side of the main wall at Fossil.  Just right of the roof that the trail comes to at its apex.
