Description

The Hoosier is probably the best route on the So What wall, climbing its left hand side on jugs and a few crimps. While not as tall or striking as its neighbors on the Crime Buttress or the White Wall, it's still good fun and seems quite a bit easier than Wristlets or Handcuffed.

The route is easy to recognize as it sports an odd, slightly scary block that is often Xed above the first bolt and an obvious small crimp below the last bolt.
