2009 Closure Map Submitted By: Amy Ansari on Jun 15, 2009
Soft for the guidebook, I'd actually call it more of a 5.9 than 5.10a (but the guidebook says 10a and my partners disagree with my personal assessment). Mostly bolted, and interestingly so. This is a fun climb that can be a little heady, causes one to think a bit, and requires route-finding skills.
Follow the bolts to a blank section, traverse left over the arrete / right-facing corner and follow the line essentially straight to the chains.
Location
Very near the right-most section of Hogwild, just up to the right of where the path meets the cliff.
Protection
Mostly bolted, but bring a couple of small to medium sized cams for the middle-upper section.
