Description This route is the leftmost route on the 'Chicken Wall' at 'The Clock Tower'. 7 bolts follow a face with pockets and crimpers to the anchors. The route can be eased by using the arete (a little dirty). I would place this route at the same grade as the route to the right, Rubber Chicken, somewhere around 5.10 c/d. Not quite as fluid as Rubber Chicken.
Protection 7 bolts - 2 bolt anchor.

| Not the worst route on the rock, but other than the crux reach/undercling, its kind of like doing the same move over and over.... |

| The moves felt redundant and pumpy. Delight wasn't terrible, but did not live up to its name. Worth it for a workout. |

| I think this route is more fun if you stay to the right of the bolt line. |

| Came back to lead this again and tried it on the right side. Crag Dweller is right, it is more fun on the right side for sure. |

| The one to the right is comparable in difficulty but much better quality. |

| Good route. I think the crux move was a little tougher than Rubber Chicken. Interesting holds, nice rock. I moved slightly left of the bolts to step up onto the ledge above the crux. Seems like if I was to the right I would have been on the other route. |

| Climbing up the face didn't seem 5.10a/b, I used a bunch of the flake on the left. Very fun that way, it will feel difficult if you are strong on the laybacks. My partner said that his legs were worn out from hanging on the flake and sliding up the wall. |

| Did it again today. New nemesis. Didn't use the left flake holds at all, tried going directly up the bolt line - definitely not 10a/b, at least c. Some holds are now polished and more difficult to use. Going to the right does work, but takes you off the bolt line.
Really wondering what the intended route was! I'll keep coming back until my skills allow me to climb straight up the bolt line - totally doable, just not at my skill level yet. Not that I think this is a particularly good route overall. Really interested to try the 10c to the right, it looks fun. |
