Description
Wild West sits high atop the West Bluff and overlooks everything from its poignant perch. This slightly overhanging line is not your typical DL 5.11- and is an excellent, though short lead for the grade. However the spice is the real deal and committing to some of the more bouldery moves may make you sweat a little. Luckily the holds are surprisingly good, and the sequences are fairly straight forward.
(Also known as "Wild West Homo" - a comment on some people's attitudes toward the lycra-clad climbers of the 80s, I think - DH.)
