Beehive Lieback

Description

Short but worth doing, this is the far right problem on the wall. Follow the obvious chalked undercling into a lieback. Starting low and far right makes this feel harder than 5.9 (its rating in the Fry guidebook). A beehive used to sit near the base of this problem, and more than a few people have taken stings in order to climb it.

Protection

crash pads/insecticide?

[Hide Comment] If you can avoid disturbing the bees too much the sit start adds a few degrees more difficulty. Jan 13, 2009
