Description

Tackle a funky dihedral that gets the juices flowing, then undercling you way left on a flake system that eventually curves up to the base of a huge roof with an undercling. Undercling left again, marvel at the guano deposit, and clip the anchors.

Back clean to retrieve gear. Fun route, with a killer (optional) knee-bar.

Location

Eldo roof, Obvious flake feature 30 feet right of Looney Tunes/Letter Bomb. Ends on the same anchors as Letter Bomb, the start to Looney Tunes.

Protection

10 bolts.

Start in the bottom right of the photo and goes up for 3-4 draws and goes straight left under the first horizontal roof. Pulls the roof after one of the best knee bars ever. Then up to the second roof and left again for 3-4 draws.

[Hide Comment] Felt like the start was harder than the crux? Lots of bird/bat poop on the final traverse. Awesome route. Mar 28, 2011

[Hide Comment] This route is now equipped with permadraws, so no need to clean (except the first). The kneebar is incredible, and no pad needed. Oct 11, 2019
