Description

The corner right of "This Bone's For You" starts out as a chimney, then pinches down to an offwidth / lieback / fist crack for the top half. At the top of the corner, reach left for the anchors. This is one of those "obvious" trad lines that was probably first climbed more than twenty years ago. It is a little more convenient now with the fixed anchors on the adjacent route.

Protection

Medium to large gear to a two bolt anchor with rings (shared with "This Bone's For You").

[Hide Comment] Mostly 5.6 with a touch of 5.8 at the top. If you don't get Hanta virus in the chimney, the pigeons will get you higher up. Still worth a go if you're in the area with a gear rack. Left anchor bolt was loose as of 1/11/14. Jan 12, 2014

[Hide Comment] Fun route, definitely worth the TR but would be hard to protect on lead. I had to skip the top part and finish to the left because some pigeons were in the crack and not happy with me being there. May 6, 2021

[Hide Comment] Pigeons down low now. Maybe all the skeletal remains of cacti in the upper half convinced them to move down. Blech. Feb 26, 2023
