Description

A fantastic line reminiscent of Kick In The Nuts only more difficult. Immediately off the deck pull a sequence of powerful, intriguing moves until the forth bolt. Finesse into and eventually around a nearly blank low-angle corner. Surmount the overhung arete to reach the chains.

This is a really great route. Delicate movement sandwiched between burly sequences. All thought provoking and all around the same grade. Climb this route!

Location

This is the rightmost route at the South Park crag. It is reached by descending the slope and then scrambling a few feet into a shallow, frequently moist, scoop. This is the belay for both this route and Kick In The Nuts, which is 5 feet to the left.

Protection

Bolts and chains. Approximately 8 bolts.

[Hide Comment] Maybe the fire damaged the route? Melted some of the glue? Thought this thing was a glued-up, exfoliating pile and a borderline bomb Sep 8, 2024
