David Bloom getting the F.A. of Gobiphobia. Padill...


Description 

A long and challenging trad pitch that follows a rough looking crack in a right facing dihedral. It climbs much better than it looks. Creative stemming and jamming with good but thoughtful protection. Holds hidden in the crack give relief to gobiphobia.


Location 

The dihedral formed by the bulging, overhanging wall and the main section of cliff.


Protection 

Nuts and cams up to 3".
