Description

This is a fun route on the west face of Burger Boulder. It ascends a right-diagonaling, traverse crack to the right edge of the face. You could do this as a foot traverse, but a hand traverse is more obvious. Gain the right edge and do some easier climbing to the top of the boulder.

There is a more direct start that starts a bit to the right at 5.10.

There is an extendo start to the left, Back Door Man, 11.

Location

This ascends the low, right-angling, traverse crack.

Protection

TR is probably best. 2 old manky bolts on top were the anchors a while back.

Susan crushing the 5.10 direct start out of the small cave at right. Quality climbing.

[Hide Comment] I believe this is the direct beta for Sodom & Gomorrah: youtu.be/YJp9wKSzQfQ. I have not seen another video for this one to confirm. Feb 10, 2024
