Description PSOM Gizzards is a newer route on the PSOM Slab. It still could use some cleaning so be cautious of "potato chip" holds, but follows generally fun and well protected slab climbing up past 10 bolts to mussy hooks.
Location The route is to the climber's left of Racing Lizards but to the right of Digi. Follow the obvious bolt line to the mussy hooks at the top.
Rappel or lower off with a single 60 meter rope.
Protection 10 bolts to mussy hooks at the top.

| Isn't this to the left of Digi, not between Racing Lizards? Will be a fun climb when cleaned up. |

| excellent, fun slab route that is well (maybe a bit over) bolted. this lends itself to an environment where one can just focus on the technical (skill) aspect of the climbing, without having to worry about runouts and the implications thereof. just pure friction with hands for balance. don't use any of the edges, there's a good chance they'll crumble. it's easier than the slab moves on digi (next route up the hill, climber's right) and technically way easier than standard slab classics such as 'walk on the wild side' or 'stichter quits' in jtree. i would say it's on the level of 'zee tree' in tuolumne or the end of p3 on the center of the grack on the apron in the valley. |

| I'm going with solid 5.8 on this one. It will be a good route once all of the little flakes get cleaned off. |
