Not the best topo of Ugly Stick, but enough to hel...


Description 

Bolted generously because it is long, steep, and a little bit rotten; hence the name.


Location 

To the right of Winter Warmer.


Protection 

16 bolts to triple Winch Hook anchors (clip & go convenience). Ring anchors 12 Meters up, after the first two bolts, to accommodate parties with ropes shorter than 70 Meters.

Fun route and maybe the longest at Table. Bring your 70m rope and watch out for loose rock up high.

Awesome route, and definitely a little long. The more traffic this route sees the better, since it will clear up any remaining loose pieces. Some of the rocks look a little loose, but are actually pretty solid. Fun and LONG route. Would like to lead this next time I am on it.

Well done! Interesting climb bottom to top. About two thirds up is where the business started for me. The character of the rock changes and you have to pull over a weird bulge. Bottom crack was excellent as well. The burliest moves are in the crack, but you are still fresh then. Belay from the anchors and have your second trail a rope up if you do not have a 70M rope. Still some loose stuff to be cleaned but it's not too bad.

Edit 11/24/2007: Managed to "clean" a bowling bowl off this on lead. There are still some rotten sections, so be vigilant.

It's cleaned up well so go climb it. It's a worthy route and proof that size really does matter....and that there is more to climb higher up on N Table. thx Kirk.

Kirk - I met you up at Table about 2 months ago and you told me about this climb. I will be doing it this week, and I just wanted to thank you for your thoughtful work.

This is a fun route. Nice to get airy for once at table. Pretty clean considering the length.

Kirk,
The route was great. Definitely interesting at the top. I think it was you, Mark R and your significant others that were doing Stick It To The Man today. Able and your other dog kept my dog entertained today. Thanks for putting up such a good route.
