Description 

You may have noticed that all the really "bad" routes at rumney have been entered by me... Well i happen to like "bad" routes... I guess i look for the best in every route... This one was good for a laugh due to the copious amounts of Lichen (as the name implies) raining down in my eyes and showering my belayer... I found the second pitch to be really fun with less lichen...

Pitch one: Climb the poorly protected lichen coated dike to a nice ledge where you can belay or link it up with pitch two... Although i found this pitch to be funny it would be quite serious if it was anywhere near your limit difficulty wise...

Pitch 2: Follow a crack up the corner to the top... I liked this short pitch a lot...

Location 

on the right side of Triple Corners look for the dirty dike left of most of the sport routes...

Protection 

First pitch takes almost nothing for gear...
Pitch 2 protects well with a regular rack...
Rap off to the ground...
