Plumb line with the imposing Big Pink to the left.


Description 

The namesake route for the crag. This is a short but sweet picture perfect splitter that's a little overhanging. Rappel at the top.


Protection 

Hand size gear.

Really nice route - continuous and pumpy! Overhangs gently and offers pretty much nothing besides the crack for hands or feet. Great jams and takes great gear.

I felt this was harder than the first pitch of Friday the 13th, comparable in difficulty to Cupcake. So I think 10b would be more in line with standard Vedauwoo ratings.

I liked it so much I did it 4 times in a row.

Great route, unquestionably a 5.9.

Felt easier than the Cupcake. You don't need anything bigger than a #3 Camalot, or anything smaller than a #1 Camalot (although you could place a #0.75 at the very top, it's in a jam that makes the top out easier). Doubles in those sizes is severe overkill, too.

I'll fight anyone of you that say this is not 4 stars!
