Hillbilly Poetry

Description

Hillbilly Poetry gets my vote for the best 10 (so far!) at Working Class Wall. The route starts off the Econo Ledge with an easy mantle to stand on a platform and  clip the first bolt. Continue through two bolts of gently overhung jug climbing and establish yourself on the vertical face above. Make engaging moves with ample rests to an obvious Crux. This puzzle can be solved either left or right of the bolt line at about the same difficulty. Just when you think it's over, you'll find yourself pulling an airy mantle with the bolt below your feet, and a beautiful layback-crack between you and the chains.

With more than 70 ft of sustained 5.10 climbing, this is as good as it gets for the Working Class Wall

Location

The first route on the Econo Ledge. Belay off of a rock platform 20' onto the ledge.

Protection

8 bolts to steel lower-off Biners. 10 draws. Belay bolt on the ledge.
