The Contrarian – 5.12c
Description:
*07/27/2025 The second permadraw's gate is really stiff and tends to stay open after you clip it. It probably just needs a little oil.*
Follow the shattered dyke to a mid-height ledge. Cross the small overhang then traverse right into the crux groove. Amazing rock. Lateral thinking helps.

2025-07-27An absolute gem of a climb! Psyched to snag it on my second go today after my first attempt felt all over the place, and I still had no real plan for the final four moves. Somehow managed to hold it together and clip the chains! -
2024-09-15Really fun boulder sequence up top with smeary feet! 3rd go after my foot slipping off at the top going for the jug.. -

2024-05-15Spectacular route! Great flow from the very start to the very finish on really awesome rock. Slippery feet through the top sequence took me a bit to figure out. Prob one of the funnest climbs I've experienced so far at this grade. If you're short - either extend that last draw (the clipping stance is heinous if you can't reach it from the jug) or skip it altogether.
