Description 

The finger crack start for this route is shared with route "R8 - Serpents Of Paradise". The route follows a beautiful splitter crack offering every size from tight fingers to off-width. The route is just past vertical several times and has multiple cruxes involving finger and thin hands crack in addition to a face/lieback section. There are good rests after each difficult section. The name is derived from the concept that every gash needs some Bulgey Wood.
