Last Chance for Gas, AKA Tricky Start

5.11a M6+, Sport, TR, Mixed, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 3 from 4 votes
FA: unknown
Washington > Northwest Region > Bellingham & Mt… > Baker Crags > Shuksan Crag

Description

The start of this route is really tricky...thus the name. If you can avoid pumping out in the first ten feet, the rest of the route is more reasonable.

Location

The bolted line to the right of The Crack.

Protection

Sport - but the bolts are old and until they are replaced it's not recommended that people lead.
