Pulling the crux


Description 

His Feet Smell climbs the face 20 feet right of the gully. It climbs the cracked face to the roof and pops it right at the center. It has a reachy crux, and is worth stopping at Beachball to climb.


Protection 

His Feet Smell has a 2-bolt anchor. Small to medium gear protects it, and maybe a cam just over the roof.

Gear Alert

Supposedly the anchors are gone, however an easy trad anchor can be had.

Cams and the odd nut will protect the lower face. At the roof, there is a pin on the right side and it can be backed up with a yellow Metolius. Over the roof, at the first large crack, the rock didn't seem all that good, and it was really wide, so I ran it out to just below the top, where I placed my other yellow Metolius.

Cool roof. If you go left it is much easier. Like 10-. Going straight up like shown in the Ruckman guide is 10b/c. The holds are thin and far apart, especially to pull a roof with.
