Description

This route lies between

Wide Chimney

and

Honky

. I have three guidebooks for the area, and this route is not in any of them. So, I gave it a name (If this ever had a name I would be happy to change it). I first climbed this in the conditions shown in the second photo. I was completely soaked upon arriving at the top, hence the name. Start up the left side of a block (nice ledge for

Honky

). Scramble left to another ledge. The difficulties start here. Follow the curving cracks on the right to the top. I enjoyed the route due to the variety from thin cracks to offwidth and a little bit of stemming.

Location

The route is between

Wide Chimney

and

Honky Jam

on Turkey Perch (See photo, follow the rope). To get down, scramble through some boulders, then walk left for the easiest descent.

Protection

Standard rack plus I used #4 & #5 Camalots and a #5 Friend. The route protects well.
