Description 

Aesthetically, this route is fairly uninspiring, but the challenge, and movement that Skeletor offers still makes this line worth trying. From the ground, shuffle through a confusing series of holds and set up for a perplexing crux that consists of scant feet, shitty pinches and a dyno to the break. Recover, and call upon the power of Greyskull to help you battle through easier, yet surprisingly pumpy terrain to the anchors.


Location 

Between Don't Trust Whitey and Pygmy Mastodon Boner, on the right side of the Skull Cave.

This route essentially made me quit climbing at Rifle. One late October morning, after warming up on Pile Driver in sub-freezing temperatures with three inches of snow on the ground, I tried one last time to hold the crux lunge and realized it was time to move on. I haven't been back since. But you never know....
