Animal Crackers

5.9, Trad, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 2.4 from 15 votes
FA: unknown
Arkansas > North-Central A… > Sam's Throne &… > Sam's Throne > 7. The Throne > Blind Man's Bluff

Description

Animal Crackers begins in a slightly overhanging finger crack. After about 15 feet, you arrive at the left angling ramp of a route called Catwalk. From the ramp, sustained 5.9 face climbing with pro in horizontal cracks leads to a two bolt anchor.

Location

When facing "Sonya, Tonya. What's the difference?" on the Throne proper, turn around 180 degrees. Animal Crackers is on this face, left of a huge brown streak. You will see it intersecting the obvious left leaning ramp of Catwalk.

Protection

Standard rack. (The smallest piece I placed was a yellow TCU and the largest was a #3 C4). Don't skip any obvious gear placements, because they are spaced out. I got 4 pieces on this route. They were all good, but there weren't other options. 2-bolt anchor at top.
