BETA PHOTO: Red slings visible at the top of Swamp Thing


Description 

Climb directly up to the first bolt and mantle onto a stance. Step onto terrible feet (crux) and continue up crimps to a climactic jump at the last bolt.

Great moves but marred by flaky rock. Bring a good brush.


Location 

It's possible to set up a TR on this or any other face by soloing up the easy south slab. Slings (good condition as of 5/09) on the anchors provide a quick rappel.


Protection 

Three bolts (last is 1/4") optionally supplemented by wires on old studs
