Starts 50' left of the pillar below two large protrusions above - the "boobs".

Protection

Lots of horizontals...Can be well protected with yellow TCU through #1 Camalot plus stoppers. Double up if needed.

[Hide Comment] This is a nice juggy 9. Highly recommended for people who are fairly new to climbing and have good general strength, but not good at crimping or tricky footwork.

Bolts at the top for TRing.

Stuck cam about 20 ft off the deck, horizontal on the right. Out of the way, shouldn't be too big a problem. Jul 26, 2015
