Description
It's Better with Bacon is a good route on a nice slab on Hogwild. The star rating is for the first 3 pitches.
P1: start up a thin right trending crack. when it peters out, step right into another very thin right trending crack. The cracks are very thin, and take small nuts, but the moves are slab moves.
P2: Straight up a 5.6 slab past 3 protection bolts.
P3: Up a 12' crack to a bolted 5.6 slab. There is a 5.8 roof that must be surmounted at the end of the pitch, very fun!
