Just Me and My Moccasins

Description

Combination of friction and small crimpers up the polished face to the top. Bottom half is lower angle and it gets steeper as you go up.

I gave this climb this name because when I did it I basically realized about 1/3 of the way up the climb that it was just easier to keep going up than it would have been to trace my moves back to the bottom.

Location

This route is at the bottom section of the wall to the left and around the corner from the mossy overhang.

Protection

While I solo climbed this the first time, it could be protected using in a crack in the left facing corner to the right of the pitch. Build belay on top using a tree, slings, and other mixed pro.

Route goes straight up the middle of the polished face. (sorry for the poor quality - only had my camera phone)
