Description

This is a great route and far enough away from the road to be enjoyable.

This route is downstream from the main Primo Wall cliff. Pass the main wall, and then pass a slab (with 5.9 and 12b routes) until you reach a wall that is almost perpendicular with the river. Someone wrote "Ken T'ank" in chalk at the base of the route. The upper portion of this wall has very cool wave shapes. Also look for a small bush halfway up the wall.

The route moves up through thin crimps to a toss to a sloper. The mid-section of the route is jugs leading to a great rest. Then finish up through bearhug moves as you slap 2 aretes. It has very interesting movement and is one of the better routes I've climbed at Clear Creek.

Midway up the route, there are a few bolts diverging off to the left. It looks like a variation that is much harder, and I'm not sure if it's completed.

Protection

9 or 10 bolts + anchors.
