Description

Wet Willie is a little off the beaten path from the more popular Jimmywood routes like Miss Scarlet and Diamond Cutter, but it's worth seeking out for 5.9 leaders.

From a nice ledge, climb straight up to the first bolt, then trend slightly right and up past crimpers, the occasional incut horizontal and the pockety hold that gives the route its name. Follow the bolts to anchors at the top.

Location

Jimmywood area; starts on a ledge about 100' left of the main Jimmywood routes, just right of Wedgie.

Protection

Original short version: 4 bolts to bolted anchors.

Extended version: 12-13 bolts to bolted anchors.

[Hide Comment] Recently bolted to the cliff top. Still a bit dirty but fun nonetheless. 13 bolts total? Aug 19, 2012
