Description

Sustained climbing up edges, with a distinct one-move 10c crux passing the first bolt. There is a second 5.10- crux that occurs with the fifth bolt well below your feet.

Interesting movement. Good rock.

Protection

6 bolts to anchors.

There are actually 2 routes now to the right of Menage a Trois, Rubber Man and another one that isn't listed in the Edwards guidebook. Both are about 5.10c. Jun 4, 2006

The other one to the right is called Cleaning Lady. FA was in 99 by myself and Dan Frame. We rated it 10.C. Dec 11, 2007

A decisive foothold finally fell off at the crux of this route. The 10c sequence past the first bolt is now a few moves instead of simply one hard move. Jan 12, 2012

The crux down low features some bad feet and a fantastic "mini" roof which you can undercling or gaston. After that, there's a nice romp up a right-trending edge-system. At the top of the edge-system, you will find a flat ledge, about eight inches wide. You might cop a rest here, but keep in mind that the edge isn't long for this world. I could easily flex it about 1/16-1/8 out from the wall with mild hand pressure. Take care! Other than that, this route sports excellent rock. Feb 17, 2013
