Description Suggest change

Butter Ball is located about twenty-five feet right of the Central Ramp, starts off a large, sloping ledge, and climbs the right side of the southwest face. This is the second bolted line on the main wall, to the right of Turkey Hooks/Butterfingers. Climb the vertical face on using deep, in cut holds that appear just when you need them. The climb is pretty sustained with a crux about 2/3 of the way up the route (thin face moves). Like Turkey Hooks, the anchors are set a way back from the wall. There is an annoying flake that makes rappelling or lowing hard on your rope best just to walk off. Requires long slings or webbing/cord to top rope. Good route, too bad it's so short.

Protection Suggest change

Three bolts, long slings for the 2-bolt anchor.
