Description
Among many other things,
Earthling
also happens to be an electronica/rave album from the late 90's by the artist
David Bowie
. Unlike the album, this climb is actually good.
Whether this has anything to do with the route's name or not, i can see some similarities. Like
Bowie's
album,
Earthling
will start you out feeling in the
groove
. Move your hips left and right over confident ground though a small roof. Continue from here to a clean, blank face. Climbing into
alien
terrain seems to be the crux and like
Bowie's
album its going to only gets worse, before it gets any better. Remix your feet a few times to gain a good side pull and edge. Pull the bulge and get back into the
swing
of things by shifting right through some less demanding and more rhythmic rock. Finish up and right at a two bolt anchor.
Location
Earthling
is slightly uphill from the base of
The Millstone
. It sits just left of
Miller Time
and is the last route before having to hop the large boulders at the pine tree.
Protection
Six bolts to a shared two bolt anchor.
