Description Although this route garners a single star in the Watts guidebook, I found the climbing to be sustained and mentally scintillating on good to excellent rock. The crux entails unorthodox moves over a small roof half way to the top but there are many difficult sections beginning off the ground. Reaching the anchors requires climbing over a second small roof (10+) about 10' above the last bolt. A fall would be undesirable at this point.
Location The route begins on the far left side of the Picnic Lunch Wall.
Protection Quick draws for 10 bolts to rappel anchors. A stopper placement may be possible at the final roof. Stick clipping the first bolt is recommended.

| i have to agree that a fall at the final roof would be bad news. you are not only 10 feet above, but also 7-10 feet to the left of, the last bolt. i tried a few times in vain to place stoppers and TCUs at the roof (fighting the pump), but nothing seemed any better than psych pro. i left a bail biner (which stayed there for over a year) so i never found out how hard the mantle over the roof is. maybe an offset would have fit??? |

| While the potential fall may seem scary, I caught my partner falling from a position with both hands over the last roof, and it wasn't bad at all. As for getting over the roof, there is a left hand jug undercling that allows reaching up to a triangular block. You can match on this block, move the right hand up again, and step over the roof. It's likely a 10- move which just seems harder with the fall potential. This is a really good route with a great variety of moves and difficulties. |
