Description

Keeping with the Meat Wall theme, this aptly named route follows a prominent arete just left of Lost and Found.

Start up the first 2 bolts of Lost and Found, then move left, and tackle the crux through a small bulge. Easier, yet pumpy climbing takes you past two more bulges until the wall finally slabs out. Delicately negotiate between the arete and the corner past 4 more bolts and man up for the semi-spicy finish to the anchors.

Besides being a bit dirty, it has lots of fun movement, great position, and a very adventurous feel. Thanks for all you hard work, Tony!

Location

Just left of Lost and Found.

Protection

Lots of quickdraws. The anchors have biners for lowering off. Need a 70 meter rope to lower off.

[Hide Comment] This has cleaned up nicely over the years and is no longer dirty. I think a bolt or two has been added to the upper section taking out some of the spiciness.

This route could probably benefit, from it's own start, two new bolts a little left of the bolts for "Lost & Found" would help eliminate congestion and reduce rope drag. Sep 17, 2023
