Golden Gloves

5.10b, Trad, 80 ft (24 m),  Avg: 3 from 48 votes
FA: Rob Robinson, Arno Ilgner, '85
Tennessee > Tennessee Wall > T-Wall East

Description

"Are you a contender?"

A little harder than it's neighbor to the left, Precious Orr.

Location

Just right and downhill of Precious Orr, trailside.

Shares anchors with P.O., these routes are pretty popular and a hassle. The ring hangers don't have any way to clip in "high and low" so you need to watch out for crossed ropes.

Protection

Mostly fingers and hands will get you there. Contracting into the slot 2/3rds the way up gets you an "awkward but no hands" before "the bizness".

Yellow or reds (.75-1.0) protect the hardest moves with aplomb...

[Hide Comment] I'd probably agree, but it fits with a lot of the other 10as at the T-Wall. Jan 12, 2009
