Description The route starts down and right of Gumbi Groove. Climb up the smooth slab passing two bolts to a ramp. Clip the third bolt and make a hard move gaining the slab proper. Follow the line of bolts straight up staying just left of the black water-groove. Excellent slab climbing and a great addition to the cliff. If Gumbi Groove gets two stars this route should get two-and-half stars do to better climbing and protection. Good job by KB on the lead.
Protection Seven bolts will get you to a three-bolt anchor.

| Unfortunately, the bolts on Prickles Problem and Pokey Minds the Baby have been destroyed. These routes are unclimbable in their current condition (or at least unprotectable) |

| I finally walked over to look at these climbs over the weekend and they certainly are destroyed. My god it looks like the culprit used a sledge hammer to flatten the hangers. A really ugly and unfortunate act of vandalism. And from the almost violent look of it, I'd think a personal statement of some sort. |

| Bob,
chopped is a understatement. I've never seen this kind of visceral violence done to a drilled climb. Real angry stuff.
Hope your well. I'm in Taos from the 5th till the 8th. Beer?
