Description
Thin crimping right off the ground gains a crack where the difficulty eases and good protection can be found; higher the crack peters out and a bolt is found to protect increasingly easier slab moves to the top.
- The name is a play on Bela Lugosi - the star of the classic 1931 horror movie "Dracula".
Location
This climb lies 15 feet left of That Old Soft Shoe and is identified as a left-leaning thin crack starting about 15 feet off the ground.
