Slab and Punishment

FA NM/AM April 2020
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Fun slab on good rock with lots of lateral movement. Start on the small finger ledge, use tiny inclusions to a stance and the first bolt below the jug pocket. Decide if the move to the jug is a slab dyno or not.  Protect, if you brought gear.  Follow the obvious line left to an undercling, up, then right to the sloper garden.  Find your stance in the bowl and the last bolt before the more vertical head wall.  Slab up and place your second piece.  Identify the bolt, and it will lead you to the chains.  Possible to climb as sport only, but a BD 0.75 and BD 1 will have you feeling happy.  Also an easy TR setup.  If you enjoyed Paco's Slab, you'll enjoy this one.

Location

Sits just below Paco's Slab main wall.  If you're at the base of the unnamed 5.10, turn 180 degrees and walk 50 feet past the square boulder to the cliff's edge.  The anchors are accessible there for a TR setup. Access the base by walking down skier's left past Bloods and Crimps.

Protection

4 bolts, .75 & 1 sized cams recommended. The overlap will take almost any size, however.  One extendable draw may be useful.
