Description

"I told that Kraut a f&@king thousand times that I don't roll on Shabbas!"

Good crimping on solid dark varnish down low gives way to big slopers up high. Crux moves come before and after the first bolt. Another fun moderate route in the Lebowski area.

Location

Located amongst some formations northwest of the main LLUA Crag. See the map under the main page for directions.

Protection

3 bolts to 2 bolt anchor. Walkoff down the backside.

A nice climb and definitely a great addition to the Playground! It's perfect for practicing slab technique with delicate, balancing moves and mantling on slopers. With a high first bolt, the start is a little adventurous and committing. Sep 10, 2011

5.10a

After a weekend of withstanding multiple attempts by multiple parties, a number of holds broke below the first bolt. The general consensus was that the route now goes at 5.10-. Starting directly below the first bolt--the more direct line of travel--now seems a bit awkward. I noticed most people were starting on the large hueco out left, then doing a delicate move right. But enough boring beta; the route climbs very well and the upper section is quite elegant. Fun and technical. Sep 25, 2011

Just revisited this one after a long hiatus. Nothing has broken from my sequence on the "awkward" direct start since the FA. Direct is the only way I've ever done it with a rock-up onto a high right foot, but would agree that 10a is probably fair. Feb 28, 2012

I like it! Can not say too much about it since I did not lead it... But on top rope it felt like a easy .10 or hard .9. Those first moves up to the bolt make me feel like I have super powers when I pull them. Nothing quite like standing on nothing and making it work.

Thanks for the addition Shore! Apr 30, 2012

Does anybody know the provenance of the pair of anchor bolts directly South of this climb? Not the bolt all the way to the South that are for Mark it Zero. My buddy and I assumed there must be a climb in between and tried them out, but the chunk of rock wasn't very interesting. Just curious. Jun 4, 2016
