Quality: 3 stars
Location: Tram
Notes: Pure line!
Soul Caliber is a sweet line, it climbs the right center
of a 15ft. tall wave of granite. The entire wall has only
two features on it! A horizontal crack that cleaves the
boulder right through the middle, and a lone xeno. Ryan
Held did the FA in '06.
The problem starts at a large horizontal crack about
7 feet up. Lock off and pull through to thin incuts on
a righteous black xeno. Make another long reach to the
lip and then pull over. The climb is about 15ft. tall,
with a shelf-like boulder under it, which can be both
comforting and unnerving at the same time.
