As Nathaniel Coleman put it: The route breaks down into two or three sections: the intro snaps you into gear with a tensiony V10 followed by two hero jumps and a kneebar sequence to exit the roof. After an almost no hands kneebar, the route follows the lip of the cave with quite a few foot tricks; toe hook, heel hook, heel toe cam, la mae (is that how you spell it?), this sequence has it all. This takes you straight into the final boulder. I couldn't dream of a better sequence to guard the chains. A big left hand throw over a mini roof opens your body fully to the left with your feet carrying on behind you. Swinging your feet back on takes precision, and engaging a right drop knee takes some serious hamstring, but it's necessary in order to match the left hand. Loaded like a spring, launch for the clipping jug, and clip off the one hand deadhang (key beta). This final boulder probably clocks in at V9.
It is a singular, striking line up the belly of the wall, climbing impeccable orange- and black-streaked limestone that tilts a few degrees past vertical.
Climb past the first 3 bolts of 'Burnt Offering I'[233129391], then follow the bolt line right to the 2-bolt top anchor shared with 'Burn Victim'[233131503].
by Jonathan Siegrist: A striking line on an amazing orange wall. The route climbs the longest section of the slightly overhanging wall through an improbable series of ultra technical movement on poor holds. It has three distinct cruxes, each one harder than the last that are separated by okay rests and finishes with an enduring section of 5.12+. It is excellent.
The route was upgraded from 5.14 to 5.14c by Andy Raether. 5.14b/c seems to be the currently confirmed grade.
