Rusty onto easy street.


Description 

This route is on the north face and it climbs through the roof utilizing the wide crack. Angle left near the end to gain the chains on the NE corner of the arete. This route is fun and protects well. Whereas, it is steep and hard looking, it is still a 5.8 due to a lot of good hands and feet. A #4 DMM Cam protected the roof perfectly, and the rest of the route protects well in hidden cracks. Enjoy this fun, but short route.


Protection 

No fixed gear.

I thought this was quite a bit harder than Coral Bells or Hollow Man. Unique climbing for sure.

The roof protects well with a #3 camalot if you don't have a #4.

Move quick through the roof... Good protection all the way. Bring up to a #3.5 or #4 cam. Feels harder than a 5.8. Pretty Steep stuff, but lots of fun.

Yeah definitely harder than hollow man, at least the overhang part is.

I found the pro after the roof rather tricky. So get some good pieces in the crack before the face climbing starts.
