Budda's Slab hosts some of the longest routes at Hartman Rocks including the area's only two pitch route. This area is located up and right from Budda's Belly Wall. Budda's slab is easily identified by the two huge pine trees at its' base.
Routes from left to right are as follows:
Vulcan Death Grip. 10-, two pitches, bolted belays. Bolt's and 1 set tcu's. (T. Anderson)Lichen It 10b 6 bolts (R.

Getting There
Park as for Budda's Belly Wall, walk uphill to large slab with two huge pine trees in middle.
Vulcan Death Grip requires a 0.5 Camalot to protect the crux on the first pitch. You can also place this cam on the second pitch. Without this cam, the route would be killer run out.
