American Graffiti

5.13c, Sport, 40 ft (12 m),  Avg: 2.5 from 2 votes
FA: Tom Herbert Jr, 1997
Nevada > Western Nevada > Pyramid Lake Area > Pig Rock Area > Little Shop of Horrors

Description

Follows the beginning flake section on Ton-Ton before branching left into two distinct boulder problems with a rest in-between. The first boulder problem is fairly straight forward on small edges (V6) while the second boulder is very distinct and powerful. Revolving around a brutal gaston or undercling (V9). The upper section is pumpy and sustained with a final throw at the end to a continuously degrading sloper. 

Location

Shares the same starting bolts as Ton Ton before branching left up the steep headwall. 

Protection

6 bolts.
