The newer bolted route on the slabs at the left end of Jimmy Cliff... One step more challenging than its neighbor to the left but still quite moderate... And fun...
Pitch 1: Climb the slab following nice new bolts to the comfortable ledge with bolt anchor...
pitch 2: This pitch continues up and a little left over a bulge or 2 that make you think more than any of the other routes on the slabs... Follow bolts to anchors at the top...
This route was a good addition since Clipity is fairly popular and can get clogged on a busy day...
Christina Callaghan made the F.A. of "Lady and the Tramp". Chris has also made many other F.A.'s @ Rumney, (Teachers Pet, Percolator, Woman Overboard, Lazy Days, etc) and elsewhere. She is credited with the most female f.a.'s @ rumney.
This route is fun, but the first pitch is really easy only one or two bolts are really necessary, but it is a worthy climb not as awesome as its left neighbor but fun none the less.
Just a heads up to everyone there is a wasp nest on the second pitch. it is in the start of the last buldge, so just keep an eye out for this...always an enjoyable route though
I just did this and clip a dee yesterday. Who knew that 5.4 clip ups could be so fun?
The fall colors are prime right now and this is motivation enough.
One thing to note is that you need two ropes if you are planning to rappel from the first belay anchors. Finishing the pitch 2 and walking off is 100% prefferable and more polite to other users as this is well traveled. That said, some people were trying to rap the pitch and ran into problems. It is a casual down climb, though.
