George Perkins poised for action on Flyin' A.<...


Description 

A White Rock mini classic.
Stem up the funky shallow chimney using an awkward crimp with scarce footholds (crux?). From here, a few feet of easy ground, step left and follow a thin finger crack with fun moves requiring good footwork on the face to the left while placing small but good pro in the crack, and occasional committing lieback moves to the top. A 2nd crux is found somewhere in this section.


Location 

Start 10' right of Texas in a A-shaped chimney 8 feet high. (This climb is the next crack right of the obvious Texas flake).


Protection 

Double set of cams up to #0.4 camalot/yellow Alien or equivalent + 1 #0.5 camalot + 1 set wired stoppers (no need for any bigger cams; except maybe to build anchor). Two of each cam is highly recommended, especially the #0 TCU/#0 C3 camalot size. Ends just right of the Texas topout, and you might need cordelette and bigger gear to set an anchor if not set in advance.
