Description

Traverse left under the arch/roof by underclinging a narrowing finger crack with smears and edges for the feet. Surmount the overhang at its end and climb the easier face up and left to belay at a tree with rappel slings. Listed as a TR in the guide, this can easily be led on gear.

Location

Start at the same spot as for Bullocks, just left of the Flatman Chimney.

Protection

thin cams and nuts for the traverse, a few medium size pieces for the face above

This is a terrific TR to toss in before pulling your cord from the rap off the other area climbs. There is a mammoth jug right at the end...so keep that in mind as you shuffle your tips across this .10d classic undercling. The pro is #2 TCU size and smaller, and it is a bit tricky to get in while hoisting the undercling moves...more fun as a TR....and I'd give it 2 1/2 stars for what it is: sweet long undercling that begs for the TR, because it's just darn convenient!
