MapDescription
On the left side of the Nappy Dugout is Fossil Family. It's recognized by its first three bolts (homemade and shared with
Family Unit
) and by the right-trending and upward (of course) discontinuous seam that comprises its upper half.
Climb up to the third bolt, then move up and right along the seam for three more clips, passing a rooflet near the sixth bolt, to a two bolt anchor. STELLAR, power-sapping climbing on good holds adds up to a super-fun climb worthy of many stars.
After you send... do the next climber a favor by scrubbing one or two of the seam holds during your victorious lower from the anchors.... Maybe some day we'll be able to touch actual stone in the upper seam of Fossil Family?
Protection
Eight quickdraws (includes the anchor).
