BETA PHOTO: Butt Slammer goes up the middle of the wall, start...


Description 

This is really one of the classic lines on the mountain. Big and steep with a remarkable series of features on a sheer overhanging wall. The question is has it been repeated since reported breakages took place? For such a stunning line, little info has been distributed publicly. See Chip's comments for more background.

On the south side of Nooks Rock, is a blatantly obvious steep wall. Start low and left, move right and grapple with flakes, an obvious pocket, etc.

The rock quality seems to be an issue but the landing is problematical also. Bring a few spotters and a bunch of pads.

This problem is worth a dozen Trices and may be just as hard.


Protection 

Molto pads.
