Description Suggest change

Texas Chainsaw Massacre begins with a series of good-sized, but shallow pockets. Pockets lead to a stance below two large inclusions and the 1st bolt. Continue up the featured face on edges, cobbles, and an occasional pocket. As the angle of the slab decreases so do the number of pockets, and the footholds and handholds become smaller and less secure. Insecure friction, small smooth cobbles, and palming lead to the anchor. The top section once spit off the infamous Medusa for a good twelve foot leader fall, while he was spraying about being a 5.13 climber and how over bolted TCM was. Nice job catching your first leader fall, Karen.

Location Suggest change

This is the 3rd route from the left side of The Egg Cup buttress. Begin at a series of large shallow pockets.
