Nuthatch (Between To Love, Honor, and Belay and Ha...


Description 

This route climbs up the slab in to the nice chimney just right of Hammond Organ(5.10d).... The climbing is a cool combination of stemming and awkward positioning....

You may encounter some loose rock, but it is easy to avoid....

This route is a fairly new addition to the crag and is a good way to help deal with the crowds that can gather here on busy days....


Location 

On the left side of the Jimmy Cliff area, locate the chimney that divides the nice smooth featured rock of the right end (The Junco area) and the broken corner alcove to the left (Drilling for Dollars area)....


Protection 

9 bolts to anchor.

I agree this is a nice route...not a squeeze job as a few new Rumney routes could be called....

the description says right of hammond organ it is actually left of it

this route is a very fun route at the grade, if somewhat of a grovel it is still a ton of fun with no hands rests all the way up
