Very short and slightly overhanging route. Scurry up a small dike, clip the 2 bolts, pull over to the low-angled face above and throw your rope in the open-topped hook to lower off.

Location

At the beginning of the Road Kill Wall, a short, left-trending dike rises out of a small cave.

Protection

3 bolts to an open-topped hook and 1 anchor with quick links

[Hide Comment] On 10.30.2011 I added a third bolt (at the top of the overhang) and a second anchor with a carabiner. The anchor is now "not" bank, but a really good, safe anchor and you won't deck pulling over the lip of the overhang.

[Hide Comment] Stay left to pull the roof! If the holds look like untouched garbage it means they are (going right)! Stick clipped the second bolt and sent it somewhat easily on the first try and subsequent sequencing for a full on lead never panned out, climbed different each time and never felt solid so it's definitely a fun little boulder problem you need to nail the beta on. If you can stick clip the second bolt you'll find a way to the anchors if your gear means anything to you so give it a try. Sep 23, 2021

[Hide Comment] This is one of the strangest routes in Maple, especially if you do it immediately after climbing 100 ft of Peterbilt, like I did. This isn't a short route with a bouldery crux. It's a boulder problem from start to finish, but with a rope and harness. The top-out even feels like the finish of a boulder. The moves between the 1st and 2nd bolts are probably closer to 11a (felt pretty similar to the start of The Angry Inch -- maybe it should be called "The Angry 1/2 inch"), but it would be unreasonable to call it an 11 because it's so short. It feels contrived stick-clipping the 2nd bolt, but it's definitely the safer option. Pulling the roof is super fun. This is a good route to pass a little time if you have a party top-roping the easier routes nearby. If anything, the absurdity of it will get a good laugh out of you Aug 7, 2023

[Hide Comment] Really fun little route. It definitely feels like a boulder and if there was an easy way down from the anchor I would just call it a highball V1. If you’re not accustomed to bouldering, this route offers great movement that’s more common on boulders than sport climbs at this grade. Speaking of grades, I felt that it was pretty soft for a 10c especially given the length, but it’s a fun climb nonetheless. Definitely worth a try even if you don’t normally climb 10c (maybe just stick clip the first bolt or two Jan 1, 2025
