Description Suggest change

An interesting adventure multi-pitch sport route that ascends some unique color banded, rough, and pocketed rock.
Pitch 1 starts easy following a lower 5.6 angle past a variety of glue-ins and pitons to a 2 bolt anchor.
Pitch 2 is where this route turns on its charm with several nice well protected 5.9 moves to a ledge with a 2 bolt belay.
Pitch 3 was my favorite pitch with several nice pockets and holds with consistent 5.9 difficulty to 2 bolts, chains, and a rap ring belay.
Pitch 4 opens up to a great view of the area as it levels off near the top for a traverse to more 5.9 climbing to another 2 bolt belay.
Descent: Rappel the route

Location Suggest change

Just southeast of I-80 exit 77 at the Blob crags. This is the route furthest to the left on Blobs Your Uncle when facing it from the west. Walk up the trail to the northeast from the large shooting area to the base of some broken cracks. There are 4 bolted sport routes to the right of this route.

Protection Suggest change

Quick draws and a 60m rope. This route is well protected with glue-ins and bolts in addition to a variety of pitons.
