Description

Delightful v1 boulder problem on huge jugs provides the start, then continues on relatively steep terrain to the 4th bolt. Then simply continue on delightful 5.9 edges up the gas-pocketed finish. One of the best of the grade at Vantage.

[Hide Comment] Would be 3 star if it lasted a bit longer than the cool boulder problem start. Well worth doing. Feb 5, 2018

[Hide Comment] Awesome boulder crux start up to 2nd clip, easy 5.9 from there. Lackluster after the crux. Stars given for climbing to the first 2 bolts. If you are not good at boulder starts, are a 10- leader or want to be extra safe, be sure to stick clip this and have an attentive belayer. Apr 9, 2018

[Hide Comment] so is this going to get a new name? I would give it a Frank Black or Pixies related name, like Black Francis. Sep 5, 2020

[Hide Comment] Did we seriously redact the name nazi boyfriend? Single 10b/c move off the ground 5.9 to the top. Mar 1, 2021

[Hide Comment] Honestly if you wanted to climb a v1/2 you should go bouldering instead. First draw can be clipped from the ground if you're on the taller side. Mar 7, 2021

[Hide Comment] Definitely a solid 5.10 start, but everything above the second bolt is 5.9 or lower.

You could call it "Fascist Fuck Buddy" if we're trying to be PC about it. Apr 11, 2022
[Hide Comment] Chet and I put fixed biners on the chains a week ago. Could use an anchor replacement and maybe be moved down and right Apr 25, 2022

[Hide Comment] Watch out while clipping the second bolt (crux); blowing it here will have you hitting the ground even with a tight belay. If you’re not super confidant at the grade try stick clipping the second bolt; you’ll be on top rope for basically all the moves over 5.9. Apr 2, 2023
