BETA PHOTO: South face of Half Rock with (l-r) Big Sandy Bound...

Description 

You'll find this challenging route on the right side of the south face, just right of Big Sandy Bound (aka The Wetlands President) (5.10c R).

Make some easy moves to gain the first bolt and then make some thin and somewhat reachy moves to get established on some small knobs (5.11a). After clipping the 2nd bolt move past an shallow intrusion in the rock with so-so feet and then huck for muffins to reach the last bolt. Easier friction moves lead to the top.

If the rock were better this would be a more enjoyable climb, then again if the rock were better the climb might not go, as the roughness of the rock allows some amazing hand and footholds to be utilized. Fun and challenging moves on somewhat poor rock. One star out of five.

Protection 

3 bolts, anchors (all 3/8")
