Closed to climbing March 15 - June 30 MORE INFO >>>

Matt Birch passes the first crux.


Description 

Steep route that overhangs about 15 to 20 feet in 40. Mostly big holds with an exciting finish.


Location 

Right side of the Orifice Wall. Approach the same as the Fortress but instead of dropping down the east side work around to the overhanging east face. Ledges start where the trail reaches the back/north end of the Fortress.

This is a fun route with three distinct cruxes. The last one is a throw to a jug which is further away than it appears.

so do we get to know the history behind this route? does the name have something to do with anyone i would know?

The name is now a tribute to how tunnel vision on the FA can keep a climber from finding the best and easiest way to climb a climb. I originally did not go left from the big hold you get the foot cam in. I used to grab that jug and then throw my leg up and over the ledge and my hands (figure four). from this position you could reach up to the next holds. Then some knuckle head (Erik Murdock) came along and used some other holds and wrecked everything. The foreigner was Eddy Mofardin who visited for a year and was a major force in developing this route as well as Eddypous Complex and Eureka. Eddy used to shake his head at the amount of unclimbed rock and ask why no one was putting up routes. Then he stole one of the better looking women and took her back to Australia. Prison colony genetics.
