BETA PHOTO: The freshly cleaned and super fun Suicide Kings 5....

Description I admit that some of the routes I've cleaned at Rumney amount to licking the bottom of the ice cream bowl. Though i enjoy them they hadn't been missed they were just waiting for someone who cared. This one I feel has Much more to offer the average climber. It is now the second best line on this rock and worth doing for sure either as a trad route a top rope or a moderate high ball problem with the hardest moves happening in the 1st 15 feet.
Climb the crack and ramp system up and left to a stance where you can place good gear and execute the fun top out.

Location As you walk in to the black jacks look behind the Umbrella Traverse boulder there are a couple of nasty old bolts on a blank face this route climbs an angling crack that follows a narrow ramp. Pretty obvious when you see it.
Protection A couple cams and nuts.

| I used a hand sized piece in a funky but good spot about 10 feet up, a maybe #6 or #7 nut at about half way, and a red tcu worked perfectly just before the top... There are other options for sure, i aided up a ways when cleaning it and i got about 7 pieces in the first half of the route :)
if you climb it tell me how it goes for you... |

| Video of the route... you miss some of the crux which is down on the lower half but it gives you the idea...

| yup... crux in the first 10 ft or so... try to eye the gear from the ground as much as you can... the top out is easier to the left... have fun and tell me how it goes... |

| The tree is off to the side a bit... your best bet is to use Hand sized cams in the crack on top of the boulder... enjoy! |
