The Brat Direct is an exciting climb that will demand your attention. Among a few routes at the entrance of The Trapps, this gem stays well lit late into the day. Begin at the base of a large, broken, and obvious crack. Awkward climbing up and past a pin will keep your eyes wide open. Take a good rest, protect your next sequence of moves, and head up and right to a hidden blast hole. From this uneasy stance move over some lower angled rock to a small ledge. Get your balance and traverse left past another pin and top out on a large ledge before the hovering, yet solid boulder.
Location
The Brat Direct is about 3 minutes down trail from the bridge at the entrance of The Trapps. Its sits on the right side of the first and most distinguished face before heading down-hill.
Protection
A few pins protect this route. long slings, medium sized stoppers, and gear from a .3 to a #3 bd are useful. A large tree at the top can be used as an anchor. Walk off.
