This is me on Duh Bulge, a fun climb at The Ruins....


Description 

Follow bolts over obvious bulge, then easier crack to chains. Very fun route in a great setting.


Location 

Route goes directly over the obvious large bulge on the right side of Ruins Left.


Protection 

Mostly bolts. A couple small-med cams will help in the crack above bulge, or just run it out over easier (5.8-ish) terrain to the chains.

Duh Bulge makes some climbers pause and consider.

This would be a really hard one if the climbing was sustained 11 up to duh bulge, but then it would be like 11c/d. As it stands I think 11a is fair for a short powerful sequence. FUN! I thought the pro above was pretty crappy, but I am not too experienced. One or two pieces should be enough to calm the mind.

Fun moves at the crux! Pro to 1" for the good crack above the bulge. FYI: it's 25' between the crux bolt and the next one, granted it's only 5.8ish after the crux.
