Description Suggest change

A really great mixed climbing experience that has flown under the radar for too long! Gear is solid, movement is fun and varied and it has now seen a facelift.  Start up easy flakes to a sporty start through 4 bolts to a sit-down ledge. Traverse left from this rest ledge before continuing up good holds, following a thin seam. Tackle some blocky overhanging terrain before things get slightly less than vertical, eventually joining the last 6 feet of Meat Grinder.

Short Straw has been re-bolted, had new first bolt installed, cleaned and de-chossed as of June 2026.
