Anyone have any beta on this? Had some fun moves.

bump

It's been at least 8 years since the last time I got on that problem. All I remember is that there was some funky positioning involved to gain the lip towards the right. Sorry I can't be more help.

no worries man was just curios to find more about it. it's def funky positioning but a cool problem and the start is weird almost a little crunched if your tall with that rock below and right of the wide rail. Hard to start with out that getting in the way. Even if they don't matter curiosity is getting the best of me. Any idea about what it goes at?

I don't remember, but it was V4 or less, because that's all I ever was capable of.

HBTHREE- no not the green egg. This is above and left of Biscuit. Don't remember if it ever was named.

Haha I remember that thing, had to clean it off quite a bit the first time we did it (maybe 2004/5?) Rogerk is right on the location, good little problem, established some really cool stuff a ways above it...

Just more proof that someone needs to do a more comprehensive guide to Smuggs than Tim Kemple's guide. So many good climbs fading into obscurity because they are not in a guide.

Read-if you send it, give it a name(unless Nick or Marc Troob or Bill Patton remember the name) and post it on the Smuggs page just so it's not forgotten.

I believe it was called “The Bat Wing”....awkward V5.

Ha Ha I should have given myself more credit at the time. Also awesome it was only 9 years for us to sort it out. Thanks Chris

There is a guide by Melissa McNell available on Gunks Apps.
