Description

Another Drysdale classic! This fantastically powerful, yet delicate problem is not to be missed.

Starts to the left of Booze Pig. Start with a distinct two finger sidepull/undercling with the left hand. Move up through hard to hold crimps to a bigger move over the bulge to stick a positive"V" shaped hold. Gun it to the large sloping rail and try to figure out how to mantle towards or dyno to the large lonely pocket way above you. This one ain't over till it's over.

Location

Middle left of the Booze Pig Wall

Protection

Wild swings, extra pads and spotters are nice.

[Hide Comment] Super fun, a little spicy! A cold, windy, recent snow, solo, 1 pad day makes it tuff...thought I was on a different climb and the route was over after the throw for the jug on the bulge....I was wrong, the top out help my attention for sure, a mono bump helps shorties static or just throw and go...but dont miss.
