Barracuda

5.11a, Sport, 70 ft (21 m),  Avg: 3.4 from 30 votes
FA: Kelly Cordner (1999)
California > Sierra Eastside > Mammoth Lakes Area > Rock Creek > Gong Show Wall

Description

At the toe of the wall (just left of the start of Main Attraction) is a rounded arete with a couple ~5.11's on it. The one to the right is 10d-11a. Make a bouldery start with scant protection to reach a stance bellow a nice finger crack. Fun jamming and stemming leads to a difficult finish over a bulge with 2 bolts protecting.

Protection

Pro to 1.5", 2 bolts, 2 bolt anchor/rap
