Description
This is a branched off route from El Funko with its own anchors that looks like the highest point of Prudential. Follow up El Funko for the first 5 bolts. At the fifth bolt there is a steep ramp that trends left. Go up and make a committing super exposed move (for a 5.8 move) and clip a bolt on the moderate grounds of Hard Drive. Cross Hard Drive and up and clip another bolt and then slightly run out to an anchor on a left facing corner. 7 bolts to the chains. Be aware that the last two bolts cover the same amount of ground as the first 5 bolts on El Funko. It may feel run out but it's never unsafe, just not the tight bolting that Rumney climbers are used to.
The traverse is wild and really fun. It's easier IMHO than the move around the 4th bolt of El Funko, so I would give the traverse a 5.8.
Location
Start on El Funko. Trend left after 5th bolt and cross the route Hard Drive, clip a bolt on that route, and then to another bolt to it's own anchors at the very top of Prudential. Be aware you will be lowered over Machine Head but you will be about 5 feet out from that route from the overhang above.
Protection
I believe it's pig tails at the anchors.
