Working the sweet sweet Cupcake Corner.


Description 

This is one of the few moderate lines in the Designator/Fang Amphitheatre. Thanks from the low-end mixed climbers, Dave!

Follow 4 bolts up a corner with a decent number of great, dry tool placements. Do a funky mantle-ish/pullup onto a ledge. Moving past the 5th bolt seems funky and that apparent V-slot isn't as good as it seems. There are a couple holds that work better as hand holds than dry tool placements just before the 6th bolt. Moving up to the anchors varies from thin to easy ice up to a 2 bolt anchor.


Location 

Just to the right of Little Thang/Frigid Inseminator & left of the red tagged project (Jack?).


Protection 

6 bolts, 2 bolts Fixe Rap Ring anchor (shared with Little Thang/Frigid Inseminator).

This route is a good one for scraping the points around first thing in the morning. It is still getting a little cleaning though.
Thanks again Dave
