Laney cruisin' Better Luck Next Time.


Description 

This is the furthest left route on the wall and starts about 10' left of Lady Luck (5.9).

Start up an easy face past a bolt to gain a low-angled slab with a finger crack. Somewhat runout but easy moves (optional 1" gear here) up the slab end below a steepening wall. Punch up the steep face above using creative body english to reach a somewhat deceptive and crimpy crux before pulling onto a finishing slab that guards the anchors.

Despite it's somewhat scrappy appearances, this actually is a fairly good climb that deserves to see a bit more traffic.


Protection 

5 bolts, chain anchors

Better than it looks, but still pretty sad as far as route. The crux at the top is quasi interesting, until you find out you can go either two feet to the left or right onto easy ground. Straight up is hard and forced, but hey, you're here anyway and it's free.

Not the best of routes, but a fun diversion nonetheless. True, you can avoid the crux by climbing around it, but you'd only be cheating yourself of some fun moves.
