Access Issue: Stick Clipping Is Highly Recommended Details

While all routes have been thoughtfully bolted, many lines contain a high first bolt. So, the local ethic is to stick clip the first bolt, and eliminate ground falls.

Description

Climb the layback crack system through the overhang. When the crack ends, continue on small pockets while following the straightest paths.

Note: Not recommended without trad rehersal.

Location

In between Walk Up and Double Barrel. Locate the short crack that goes through an overhang to the left of Shotgun. Follow a straight path up from the crack.
