Description Similar to Call of the Wild, but just slightly more difficult. Climb past 5 bolts on good pockets and jugs to the chains. The start is still a bit dirty.
Location On the low-angled, pocketed slab on the left side of the Wild. Left of the bolted, steep corner/arete that is Chupacabra.
Protection 5 bolts to chains.

| There were some wasps living in the pocket just down and right of the first bolt. We put a tick mark next to the pocket and sprayed it with anti-wasp spray, so it should be OK now, but just be aware that there once were wasps there. I spend three and a half hours and six cans of canned air/dusters cleaning this one little route. So before you complain about how dirty it is, think of that! |

| A harder twin of "Call of the Wild." The holds are a bit less obvious in some parts (re: the finish) but moslty good holds the whole way. The pockets, while still good, are smaller than the pockets on "Call O.T.W." A good route... |

| Interesting that Call of the Wild has more stars than this one. I actually liked this one better. It has lots of little pockets to put your fingers in and some cool little holds. Lots of fun. I went up yesterday and I am happy to say there were no wasps in the entire area. |

| Changed my mind, I like CotW better now, but this is another great climb with similar holds. They're just not as unique as CotW. |

| This was my first lead a few months ago and we just went back the other day and I still love it. |

| I had a great time leading this route. I enjoyed it much more than CotW. I'm just a sucker for dihedrals I guess. |
