Description
A completely forgotten classic! This is a fantastic pitch of rock climbing and is very worth the fuss to get to.
This route is varied and extremely pumpy, with a savage finger crack to get things started, to a roof, a short section of bolt protected funkness, and a final reds and greens megasplitter pumpfest before the final golden glory to the chains. You and your partner will be crying wee wee wee all the way home after this one!
Start by climbing Walkin' Talkin' Bob (5.10) and traverse left and upward from the anchors. You will pass an odd huge stud sticking out of the wall (sling it) and then move up an OW flare and some random nonsense to reach a slightly inconveniently placed two bolt anchor. The anchor is to the right of a comfortable ledge and creates a hanging belay... so bring a couple extra 0.3s and build a gear anchor in a more comfortable position on the ledge.
Now go for the business!
