Bazooka Country (5.12a), Owens River Gorge
Add Photo  Printer View
Description Classic Owen's pumpy edge pulling. Start out by bearhugging small flakes and edges. The crux comes at the 4th bolt and is a balancy yet powerful move leading to a good horizontal. At this point the route used to go straight up but a key hold has broken. You can still go straight up but most people move right, do a long reach and come back left to the jugs. After a good shake on a huge sidepull, pull edges to the top. Pumpy, long and fun.

| This route is probably my favorite 12a in ORG for both the moves (not all edgin'!) and the setting....pretty rock |

| There is a bunch of chalk crosses on it, is the route flaking off? |

| there's some bad rock on this one. at the crux, instead of doing a hard deadpoint move, you can go left at 5.11, also the right way around the upper bit is a little scary.
Someone should bring a bazooka and blow this thing up |

| This thing is awesome. The traverse out right at the 6th is a little far from the last bolt but the climbing isn't hard. I thought the quality was fine and MUCH better than the thing to the right. |
