Hypoglycemia

5.7, Trad, TR, 75 ft (23 m),  Avg: 2.7 from 19 votes
FA: Cleveland? Route name sounds like his work.
Wisconsin > Baraboo Range > Devil's Lake > E Bluff 04 - E… > 08: Two Pines Buttress

Description

Starts up Anemia corner then steps right at about 25ft mark and heads up through small roof and broken wall above.

Location

Starts out in Anemia corner then heads right up wall to the right of Anemia corner.

Protection

Just fine for "at your waist" pro in all sizes. Difficulty is sustained with no real crux section although the wide crack portion at mid height is problematic due to sparse foot hold options.

Chlorosis and Hypoglycemia. The books and MP seem to have conflicting descriptions of these routes. The routes shown in this pic are as described in the Swartling/Mayer book. I also took a stab at drawing Geritol based on book descriptions.

[Hide Comment] Is this hypoglycemia or Chlorosis? The guide is a bit vague, but it seemed like Chlorosis traverses under the roof, and Hypoglycemia goes up the dihedral another 10 feet or so, then through the slight groove above the roof. Either way, I thought that traversing under the roof and going up was a great little climb, and tough for the grade. Jul 31, 2012

[Hide Comment] Hey Tony. Other then which way you actually take on the roof move (either left side or right side) I don't think anybody has been able to figure out which is which..... Jul 31, 2012

[Hide Comment] I agree with Tony. This route description is Chlorosis as it is described in the Swartling/Mayer book. Dec 15, 2019
