What this climb lacks in terms of rock quality, it makes up for in quality movement. Climb past 4 bolts worth of loos'ish rock before gaining the solid crack. Layback or jam until it closes off, then head straight up to the anchor. Shares finish with Vegetable or Visionary.

Boys Don't Cry

Two Left Feet

Vegetable Or Visionary

A tough, cryptic climb on inobvious holds. Climb up past three or four bolts of in your face moves until reaching the slab. Catch a break before tackling the sustained, yet easier, climbing above.

The Big Empty guide calls this 5.11a/b, but it felt at least a grade harder than the surrounding 5.11a's.

Climb up through a techy vert section to reach a slab. From here, climb up steep terrain on jugs until you reach a good sloping ledge. Contemplate the cryptic vertical section above, then pull hard on small holds to reach the easier climbing above.
