Description

This is a toprope line just right (5-8 feet) of

Back in Slacks

, though it could conceivably be led if you really needed the tick. I TR'ed it right off the

Back in Slacks

anchors, clipped through the last bolt as a directional.

Start up the clean face with two huecos down and right of

Power Bulge

/

Back in Slacks

, then climb up a faint rib. Step up into a licheny hand crack (you'd get slammer gear here, but it would be 30 feet of 5.8 free soloing to get here) which peters out below a bulge. Move over the bulge on crimps to a big flake, then finish on the slab as per

Back in Slacks

.

It is not a great climb but gives you some mileage if you're in the area.

Location

This is just right of

Back in Slacks

, south face of the Hand, Dinosaur Mountain.

Protection

Toprope -- hand-sized cams as directionals at mid-height.

Per

Chris Weidner

: to lead, Camalots #0.4, 0.75, 2, and 3.
