[Hide Comment] When we did the FA, there was indeed, a rock protruding from the pockets in the shape of a phallus, hence the name. It was a great hold! I think this geological formation has since been broken off. Nov 26, 2007

[Hide Comment] Matthias, check out the photo. The woody lives. It also looks like someone recently replaced the third bolt with a fresh stainless 5 piece. Jun 22, 2008

[Hide Comment] unfortunately during the recent rebolting effort the woody broke off. which is probably good since, although its rad, could have hurt a belayer. Oct 13, 2014

[Hide Comment] Ride The Woody now has its own anchors. At the second-to-last bolt, head straight up via a new bolt to anchors, rather than cutting left to the Humboldt Current anchors. Please consider using the new anchors, especially if someone is on Humboldt Current, to avoid clusterf**king the Humboldt Current anchors. Apr 13, 2015
