Holly on Clippity Doo Daa. A very nice jaunt.


Description 

Two Rumney climbers were out for a hike one day. They headed up to the higher reaches of the mountain in a search for potential new routes. After bushwacking for a while, they scrambled up a low angle dirty slab in their tennis shoes in order to check out some rock above.

They unknowingly made the first ascent of what was to become Clip a Dee Doo Dah.

Locate the now cleaner large slab on the left side of Jimmy Cliff. A line of bolts rises from the lowest point of the wall and heads more or less straight upward. The climb offers two pitches of friction moves on incredibly grippy stone.

Many 5.13 climbers regularly romp up this climb because the setting is so beautiful. To descend, turn left at the top and follow a trail to the base.


Protection 

7 bolts per pitch

Fun Simul-climb. Climb with your partner, with about 30' of rope between you, leader clips while second unclips. Up and down in 30 minutes

Please be careful if you are rappelling down as I had trouble getting down with a 60M ropes on both rappels of both pitches.

it works better if you just use the nice walk off trail rather than rappelling...
