Description Suggest change

You may have noticed that all the really "bad" routes at Rumney have been entered by me. Well I happen to like "bad" routes. I guess I look for the best in every route. This one was good for a laugh due to the copious amounts of lichen (as the name implies) raining down in my eyes and showering my belayer. I found the second pitch to be really fun with less lichen.

Pitch one: Climb the poorly protected lichen coated dike to a nice ledge where you can belay or link it up with pitch two. Although I found this pitch to be funny it would be quite serious if it was anywhere near your limit difficulty wise.

Pitch 2: Follow a crack up the corner to the top. I liked this short pitch a lot.

Location Suggest change

On the right side of Triple Corners look for the dirty dike left of most of the sport routes.

Protection Suggest change

First pitch takes almost nothing for gear. Pitch 2 protects well with a regular rack.

Rap off to the ground.
