Massive wad of tat pulled off of dead tree at the top of Ample Virginity and Tar Baby. I counted 10 different pieces of webbing and 4 rap rings of assorted quality.

[Hide Comment] Great climb! Well worth the trek over, whether from the "trail" as shown in Marty's guide" or by following along the base of the cliffs past Summer Assault, below Lion's Den, and then down a broken and overgrown climber's trail. If more folks get out this way the trail will be much improved. Will try to remember clippers and cairns next time. Mar 6, 2017

[Hide Comment] Also, Marty's fold out guide lists this as 10-, which is more reasonable for this climb. 2-4 supplemental small to medium cams recommended. Between 1st and 2nd bolt, between 2nd and 3rd, and up above the 3rd. Mar 6, 2017
