OB Groove

FA Unknown (likely Outward Bound)
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Starts the same as Groove Licker and Pole Envy. 1st pitch is 5th class with occasional gear. We only did the second. Start from the bolted anchor and traverse right into the deep groove. A black tricam protects the first eyebrow. Continue up and there is a bomber WC 11 nut in the groove. Pass marginal gear (maybe a #2 or a #3, hexes would be great here) and the crack get steeper. Find what gear you can and/or run it on easy ground to the top. Bomber mid to large cams at the top ease your mind as you trend slightly right to the chain anchor.

Location

If you can find the large groove routes to the right (Jehovas Wetness and Angry Nomad) these are the shallower grooves just to the left. On the Art Loeb, continue up the steep section until the trail is basically at the cliff and there will be a small trail.

Protection

Standard single rack of cams, doubles in BD#2 and #3, hexes would be a good idea but not necessary.
