Description

Bonzo might not have had much, but you will. No Holds offers a variety of finger jams, stemming, face climbing and even some possible chimneying all in one pitch. Rarely climbed, but definitely deserving of more attenion. Climb over a bulge and into the corner, following this to the top of the pitch. Unfortunately, this route is often grassy. It can be cleaned on rappel from the Potatoes Alien anchors.

Location

Start in the acute-angled corner a few cracks left of Bloodguard and immediately left of Potatoes Alien.

Protection

small-med nuts, finger sized cams. Rappel anchor.

[Hide Comment] Another awesome stemming corner at the tower. Fairly clean 9/2016. Tricky start leads to sustained stemming. Some rest can be had up higher on the route.

Anchor replaced by Lee Terveen and Joel McKillop on 10/22/16. Sep 23, 2016

[Hide Comment] Scrubbed to perfection today 7/16/21. I think this route is closer to ~140 feet. Give this thing a go! Jul 16, 2021
[Hide Comment] We cleaned out this route again yesterday (7/13/22) and it should be good to go for the rest of the season! It's a great climb with plenty of protection and really does deserve more traffic. Jul 14, 2022
