Buddha's Belly

Ramayana Story

Buddha's Belly follows the line of bolts through the roof and above to the chains. There are nice moves to the roof, then get ready for some jug pulling to get over the roof.

This great line is in the middle of the rock formation and is easy identifiable by the single finger pocket which starts it off.  I had planned to bolt it but someone beat me to it, I am just happy someone got around to it. Very interesting, well protected, moves off the ground and through the overhang bring you to a nice rest ledge.  From here follow the line of bolts through the crux to the chains.

Left of Buddha's and

Ramayana Story

is a lower-angle area.  This climb can be started in a dihedral just left of

Ramayana

or an obvious crack 20' left.  Climb up to a long flake on the left wall pointing left about 15' below the top. Once on this flake, you can clip an inobvious bolt and climb to the chains.

This starts about twenty feet to the left of

Laughing Buddha

on a slabby protrusion. Climb 5.easy slab to a loose looking cube sitting on a ledge below a narrow crack. Go straight up from there into a crack system with good holds outside of the crack. Finish at bolted anchors. The first half, below the cube, has little to no protection but is very easy. There is good protection for the second half of the route.

This route has very interesting face climbing and dihedral climbing moves up until you reach the roof, and after that, thuggy jug haulin' gets you to the chains.
