A colorful Stefan Doucette going for the belay.


Description 

Rightmost bolted route on Starlight Buttress, and left of RAVEN'S HAVEN corner. Overhung and pumpy for the entirety. Crux is midway up, moving past crimpers to a juggy ledge. This is the most sustained route on the Buttress and a must do. Straightforward route with a little of everything, from crimpers to jugs, and an occasional long reach/dyno.


Location 

Starlight Buttress.


Protection 

Save two long runners for the anchors.

Only 8 or 9 years ago this route was done - rumor has it that Glenn may possibly name it soon. Till then it is - The G Route.
