Lick It Up

Description

Squirm up through the widening crack to the widest pod below the finger crack. Pull out of the pod and climb the crack until it tapers off. At this point, you'll have a good right hand and a dish big enough to stick both your feet in. Enter the crux sequence by moving left into thin face climbing to eventually reach a great jug. Step left onto the cantilevered block and the fixed anchor.

Location

Maybe 20 feet right uphill of Finger It Out. The wide pod around 10 feet high is pretty distinct.

Protection

Basically a standard rack of nuts and cams with a selection of some smaller gear. An upside down #3 blue BD cam protects the last bit of traverse off left to the trees pretty well (also protects the second if you don't immediately place gear after pulling through the crux). You may want to place one on the earlier part of the climb, so take an extra one if you do. You may find room for doubles of some finger sized stuff as well. There is a tree with a fixed anchor off to the left when you get up there that you can belay a second from and rappel from. This route is not super easily toproped, but if you leave the last #3 upside down cam in, it can be a decent enough directional for someone to toprope it on.
