Description 

On the NE corner of Challenge Buttress, what I used to think was Guilt Trip is this route. It does protect well, and requires a good throw, or some excellent footwork to work the lip. The face above eases considerably.


Protection 

2 bolts and a 2 bolt anchor at the top. Before the 1st bolt, you can protect in horizontal cracks, with cams #2 or less. Bring runners.

This was put up by Scott Keller and Jake Anderegg (1992-ish?). Hand-drilled quartzite. I think we named it "Broken Thumb" because I whacked my thumb REALLY hard while hammering - wasn't pretty.
