Getting into the section of nice sidepulls


Description 

This bolted line lies between Little John's Big Stick (which is to the right) and Tuckered And Fried (which is to the left). Unlike the other lines at this cliff, this one is outfitted with rust-red bolt hangers. Climb up the route on decent feet and a lot of side-pulls and stems on the slabby face for 50' until you pop right under a small bulge. This will "squeeze" you in close to LJBS for a move before you sep back left to another bolt and a set of rap anchors. To descend, rap the route.


Protection 

A set of draws (8?) to a bolted anchor.

For what it is worth, this route is named Men In Tights and was put up in late summer 2002 by Dianne Barrow and Mike Dallin.

This was a great route. Very straightforward and fun. Pleasant and unimposing; the clipping stances are solid.

A good variety of climbing, however watch out at the top as it gets pretty chossy over the bulge.
