Comments: I think Deaun is correct. The name since the '70s was Toot Suite, I believe.
Short, just a few moves, but fun. I watched Steve Stubblefield solo it once.

Comments: Jason, Dave Bell, who did the first ascent called it A3 I believe. When we freed it we added a bolt and a fixed pin. (with Dave's blessing) With those in place and a slider nut made it plenty safe. It'd be C1 now. I might have used a large RP as well. Remind me to tell you the story of when and how I became obsessed with free climbing it. Lets get out in the next couple of weeks.

Comments: This is the best roadside rock in the Platte. Not really roadside, close to it. The granite is bullet.

Comments: Look out for the booby trap on the unprotected traverse, pure death....
Oh yeah, the walk off to the right is faster than rapping.

Comments: If you plan to rap from the anchors above the first pitch, bring a shoulder length piece of webbing. The slings in-place are cut, probably gnawed through by rodents. After the second pitch we rapped from the "Dum de Dum Dum" anchors to avoid the cut slings.

Comments: Great route! Significantly easier than Tiger's Tooth in Lumpy which is rated the same.

Comments: Slim, I think you are thinking of a different route. After the bulge the right of the twin cracks continues as a finger/hand crack to the anchors. It would not make sense to break to the right.

Comments: I thought I remember this route as breaking to the right once you get over the twin crack bulge, and heading into sort of an RP thin crack. Thin climbing and a little spooky. Is this the same route?

Comments: You can skip the bolt and place gear in the crack to the left. Kind of thin but fun.

Comments: Per Pat's Beta, I did this about 1998. Excellent long thin hands route with pro opportunity green Alien to blue Camalot. Medium to large nuts. A bit marred by the gully close by. The decent was a steep bushwhack.

Comments: There is no bolt near the bottom (one is not needed) but the belays have bolts for an easy rap descent. A fun route to warm up on.
