[Hide Comment] Use this to set a TR on the Middle Finger (5.10). That will up the stars on your experience. Sep 17, 2010

[Hide Comment] No bolts on top. (except 2 on the face for middle finger 5.10, but these are on another plane) Apr 14, 2013

[Hide Comment] This thing isn't even in highball range. Just go for it with a spotter and use it as low risk down climb practice. Also, I don't think it's 20ft. Probably closer to 12ft-15ft. Nov 22, 2016

[Hide Comment] Hey, just a PSA for everyone:
For routes with anchors on the ledge below the Middle Finger/ Orthnac boulder in the right side of middle earth, take note that you can go around and access the anchors from the side closest to the hill, the other side is especially perilous. On the fifteenth of June, my dad attempted to traverse the right side of the boulder. There is a fairly exposed step with your right hand on a pinch and your left hand on a small crimp. For some unknown reason, my dad fell about thirty feet to the base of the cliff, broke his right clavicle and nine ribs, both his lungs collapsed, and he burst his pulmonary artery, causing internal bleeding. He was airlifted our to sharps memorial hospital and is currently still in a coma, and it’s still hit or miss if he’s gonna live. Stay safe out there guys, and Always check your knot.


Update- He's back to climbing, but I leave him in the dust at altitude Jun 17, 2019

[Hide Comment] Glad to hear that your dad recovered, Connor. And a good reminder for everyone to stay safe and respect the exposed scrambles. Feb 12, 2021
