Description
This route is located on the west side of Castle Rock in the gully. The start is in a group of mahogany trees. The route is at the right side of a roof and steps around the right side of the roof on large holds before angling back up left to the first pitch anchor. There is a more difficult bolt line (Earth Muffin) directly up the roof to the left of the start of Zinger.
This route consists of three pitches of 5.7-5.8 face climbing that is well protected. Nothing too exciting, but a fun outing to the top of the formation. Rap the route with a single 60M.
