Fuzzy Undercling.


Description 

A good climb with a technical crux down low, perhaps 2 bolts up, and then on pumpy pockets the rest of the way up with some big moves. Which feels harder to you depends on your skills set. The route was commonly done in flip-flops or hiking boots.
The name of this climb, I believe to be a not-so-subtle euphemism... either that or there was some moss in a pocket in the early days. Regardless, I doubt the latter was the sole motivation behind the route's name.


Location 

From the left branch of the approach trail, you first encounter the "triplet" climbs, Sunshine, Moonbeam, and Into the Light. While these are at your right shoulder, you can look further on to the routes on a massive overhanging buttress. These are (from right to left) Fuzzy Undercling, Tissue Tiger, Gung Ho, and Reliquary. To the right of these, there is a huge, wide inset with a single bolted line up a slab on the left side, Possum Lips.


Protection 

6 bolts to a fixed anchor. The top anchor has moved a few times over the years to alternately extend the climb and then to reduce drag, back and forth at least once.

Me high up on route. My personal beta for the start is to be Confident dynamic and tall. ( 2 out of 3 aint bad either ) Basically hop up into a quick layback on the well chalked line, right hand to the large slopey hold to the right of layback, then just go big into the obvious undercling with your leftand pull pull pull your self up to a reasonable position to easily obtain the first of many huge buckets.
