Description 

Green Bulge begins at the base of a relatively flat slab of red rock a little east from Orgasm. After climbing the face up to ledge, climb up towards the small tower.


Protection 

Used a toprope, good anchor in a tree. Used two nuts.

Nice picture of Harris crimping and smearing on the slab at the start of the Green Bulge.  It is very fun to bolder on the slab.

I've been told that you can climb the first half of this route without using your hands to pull up, only palms. May be an interesting variation..

Great face climb and a fun place to practice some footwork. Crux is about half way up the route on a large sloper. For top rope anchor you can also sling very large rock sitting atop last ledge.

To keep the difficulty sustained when you get to the tower, climb straight up the south face (instead of going to the right at the top of the shallow dihedral) and do a tough mantel to reach the biners at the top.

The starting slab is a fun bolder spot.The whole route is excelent for practicing smearing and crimping. i found and ausome under cling that help me make it through the crux. (3/4 of the way up, i think)Stay to the right for a challenge.
