Description

To the left of Beatle Bay Lee (10-15 feet) you will find two more bolted routes. The right hand one ("Foul Fowl") has like 6-7 bolts. It goes straight up and over a small roof. The crux is near the top.

Bolts, chain anchors clearly visible from ground.

[Hide Comment] FUN!
7 bolts and chains. Starts kinda thin and to the right of the first 2 bolts. The little roof is pretty easy to do because it has nice jugs and crimp edges to pull on. The crux is between the 7th bolt and the chains with not the best hands and not much for your feet and nice exposure. Oct 10, 2011

[Hide Comment] Route looks easy from the ground but is harder once you start to lead/climb. The beginning is slabby but there are some nice holds; better to trend to the right. Continue up to the small roof where there are some nice jugs; surely helps to be taller rather than shorter. The crux is towards the top between the last bolt and the chains.There is a small horn for both hand and foot use but there is not much else until you reach above the chains for the jugs there. FUN route - def three stars! Oct 18, 2011

[Hide Comment] Talking with the one of the FA's via email he said they have added a bolt where the nut placement originally was. This route is now 100% SPORT. Oct 21, 2011
