Description
There are two different starts to this route - 1) climb the seam directly with no protection, or 2) climb past a bolt just right of the seam.
Thin and delicate slab moves from the ground gain a stance below the start of the crack where you can get some gear. Enter the crack and lieback/jam up a thin crack (crux) to a horizontal, after which the crack widens and enjoyable jamming past a steep bulge leads to the top.
Descend by walking down the south shoulder (climber's right).
A true Josh classic with varied, interesting moves up a clean face.
- This is one of the climbs that John Bachar used to routinely solo back in the late 70's/early 80's. Other routes regularly soloed were Left Ski Track (5.11a), More Monkey than Funky (5.11b) and Spider Line (5.11d).
Location
Hot Rocks is the masterpiece of this wall and climbs a line just right of center identified as a seam that higher widens and forms a crack.
Just left of this route is the thin and technical Stand and Deliver (aka Spanish Bombs) while further left is the widening crack of Looney Tunes.
