The Pabst & The Peasant

After cleaning and bolting this rig, I thought I'd uncovered the elusive 5.12 on the wall. Alas, the holds are much better than expected and just when the hands get thin, feet appear to support you.  Although the climbing is gently overhanging, technical and sustained, its all well within the 5.11 range. The cadence of this route is fantastic, with obvious clipping stances, fluid movement, and the best holds coming just before the final (crux) roof encounter. Grabbing the "Texas toast" jug is a treat on the way to the chains.

I sent this one on my father's birthday and let him name it for me. I guess puns are genetic, job well done pops!

The third bolt line on the Econo Ledge. Starts on the flat part of the ledge just after the talus pile where Hillbilly Poetry begins.

9 bolts to steel lower-offs hooks. The last bolt is optional, left over from the previous anchor.
