Description

To the right of Wierd Al is a chossy looking corner. It actually climbs better than it looks, though there is a bit of choss. Stemming, jamming, and face holds past 6 bolts to chains. A little sporty.

[Hide Comment] Probably only 5.8 but due to the potential of pulling something off I recommend climbing this cautiously. Nov 11, 2014

[Hide Comment] "Location, to the left of Wierd Al".... you mean your other left. This route is Right of Weird Al. Agree with Jeff regarding the grade. There is no 5.9 moves on this route. Climbs fun enough, a little chossy but fun warmup. Feb 2, 2018

[Hide Comment] Great fun. Didn't seem too chossy at all. Maybe cleaning up? A little more space between bolts for folks accustomed to gyms. A good warm up and worth a run. Feb 2, 2020
