Almost Gothic

Cactus Cliff is becoming known for its great collection of new moderates, but in the center of the cliff where the rock gets really clean sits this gem of a harder route.

Start between

Risky Business

and

La Temperatura de Shelf

at a shallow, right-facing corner. Continuous from the get-go, this route climbs up a gradually steepening face on increasingly difficult moves with thoughtful protection. Then, just when a spectacular jug-haul hand traverse to the right tricks you into thinking it's over, a great tricky move awaits you just below a small roof with the anchors in sight.

If you're climbing at Cactus at this level (or even if not, as the pro is really good) this is a "Must Do"!

9 bolts plus anchors.
