Description
I so wanted to give this climb the BOMB quality rating, ...but I just couldn't. There is something fun in climbing this suckwad route; I don't know what it is. This crappy route goes up lumps, buckets, and features about 40 feet left of Belly Scraper. The rock quality is poor, the climbing challenging, no fixed anchor. You probably have to go do this climb to see for yourself. It does have a short approach, and you don't have to place many pieces; other than that, it has few redeeming qualities.
