The late Raleigh Collins at the 7th bolt of Ground...

Description 

This sustained slab route, like most of the routes on this side of Little Hunk, affords decent quality climbing and sometimes engaging moves but needs a bit more traffic to clean it up.

The 5.11 crux comes early in the vicinty of the 3rd/4th bolt but there's another tricky sequence (5.10+) at the 6th bolt and sustained 5.10 slab climbing with spaced bolts all the way to the top. Top out and walk off or a better choice is to rap off the chain on the last bolt (thread the eyebolt of the next to last bolt for a backup).

This is a technical and sustained slab route that is worthy of more attention and with more traffic it will clean up nicely (it may also make it a bit harder).

Location 

Left side of Little Hunk's west face between Official Rubber Tester and Compassion Of The Elephants.

Protection 

11 bolts (5/16" and 3/8"), pro to 3" for anchors if continuing to the top of the rock
