Into the Void

5.12b, Sport, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 2 from 2 votes
FA: Matt Dancy and Eric Eriksson, 1990
California > San Bernardino… > Running Springs… > Keller Peak > (h) Hungover Wa… > Hungover Wall > Hungover Wall - Left…

Description

This highly technical line launches straight into the difficulties after the first bolt with a reachy crux (5.12) of thin sidepulls and thinner feet over a bulge to gain a horizontal and a jug. Catch a rest then continue up a steep sidepull flake with poor feet (5.11+) that's harder than it looks. After the 3rd bolt the angle relents, the difficulties ease and interesting steep slab leads to the anchors.

Originally done with only two bolts (1st and 2nd) and some gear it, this route like many of the routes at the Hungover Wall, was later retro-bolted into a sport route.

Location

Left of Suck for your Solution on the obvious slabby section. Shares the start with High Spark of Low Heeled Boys.

Protection
