Description 

Romancing the Stone is the most distinguishable climbs at 5.8 Crag, as is follows the first line you see as you approach the cliff. The first third of the climb is characterized by technical 5.10 face climbing that is punctuated by an exit move on the "romancing stone," an brick sized tooth that has been wobbly for as long as anyone can remember. In the immortal advice of Tenacious D, use this hold "gently." A rest of sorts can be found before launching into a pumpy traverse and jug haul to the chains.

Location 

Romancing the Stone is found at the center of 5.8 crag. If approaching from the road, this will be the first climb you see.

Protection 

6 bolts, with a two bolt anchor up top.
