Description 

In contrast to its neighbor, Mr. T climbs a clean, relatively unaltered, minimally-reinforced section of rock through the center of the Nostril Cave.

Slightly easier than Yellowcard, this route slowly builds in difficulty. Make some easy moves past the first three bolts, thrutch through some slopey pinches and underclings, and then execute the crux- a sequence of pockets ending with a committing, dynamic slap for the lip of the roof.

I pity the fool that doesn't like this route.


Location 

One route left of Yellowcard.


Protection 

Quickdraws, a 50 meter rope, and kneepads. Maybe a locking biner for the second bolt (the carabiner in the hanger rubs over an edge, causing the gate to open).
