Angus: Not the hard part.

Description Fun, challenging climbing with some awkward-seeming moves on small to medium edges.
Begin and the line immediately starts with the small edges and a bit of overhanging rock. Dancing back and forth while searching for less-than-large or less-than-positive edges is required until a brief respite is reached at the third bolt. The hard part awaits: moving up and left past the fourth bolt onto tenuous, off-camber holds until finally more welcoming holds are reached.
Continue up and to the left pair of the two sets of chains that are visible.
Location Near the top of the right side of the gully (just uphill past a lower-angled ramp that angles up from left to right) there are three bolted routes; Angus is the center of the three.
Protection 6 bolts, chain anchors (shared with Givin the Dog a Bone to the left).

| So I've got to confess: I've gotten on this twice and still haven't managed it without falling (and I flashed the .11b to the left—go figure).
Granted, there are extenuating circumstances (exhaustion, injury), but I find this to be a tricky route. |

| This route has some tricky, inobvious climbing. There's more flaky grittiness on this than any other on the wall. In one section, pretty much everything you put your feet on crumbles. Probably my least favorite route on the wall, but still worth a go. |
