Description

One of the better routes at it's grade, Miki's Six busts up a short, smooth slab and joins a long, left leaning hand/fist crack.

Start on the far south side of the buttress next to a tree for the most casual way to gain the crack, or begin directly below the crack on a thinner, more trickier, full-value face. Either way, the crack is the real reason you're there.
Climb a little over fifteen feet to get to the crack, plug a piece and let the fun begin. Follow the slowly widening break up and left towards a huge hanging flake. Using jams and face holds climb the relaxed route up to a troublesome area around the 3/4's mark. Work you way through this and finish wide at the large, crisp, flake.

Location

This route sits on the far right, west side face of The Bumblie Wall. Its the most obvious, most significant crack on the wall. Miki's Six is the first route you come too when arriving from the Bath Rock or Flaming Rock parking. It sits two climbs right of Too Much Fun.

Protection

Depeding on your comfort level, the gear wil be highly varied. A single rack from 3/4" to 5" sums up the range in sizing. Bring a single set, bring a double set, add some stoppers and/or hexes.... best to just eye it up from the ground. Stop at a thick set of slings wrapped around a horn.
