Description 

This is the furthest east line on Riptide Wall. It starts just east of Astroprojection's bolted line. 'lectric Granny links up some rotten cracks to the chains just left and below the roof of Astroprojection. The rock is rotten, and the line is nonsensical. There are 2 or 3 fun moves but that is all. Watch the loose stuff.


Protection 

2 draws for the anchors, and some small to medium gear for the cracks. Oh, and helmets.

"ROCK!" I shouted at my belayer -- probably five or six times enroute to the anchors. The effort turned into a game of Asteroids (giving my age away here.) The crack system will take a variety of microcams and there are a couple of cool moves. However, there are something like 1500 routes in the guide book, and most are probably better than this one.
