Description
A less-than-vertical romp up a crumbly face,
Honeymoon's Over is a bit rough around the edges but ultimately worth engaging. Stem 15ft past the first bolt before fully committing to the face. Pull a wild, non-obvious series of moves to reach the third bolt. From the third bolt to the chains the climbing is reminiscent of
The Forgotten Wall.
While listed as a single sport pitch,
Honeymoon's Over is actually a two pitch route. The second pitch climbs to the top of the formation and requires traditional equipment. I cannot comment on this pitch.
Location
Honeymoon's Over is located between
Mondo Bizzaro and
Power Hungry. The former is to the left; the latter is to the right. The route starts immediately past a gap and hugs the left corner of the formation.
Protection
9 bolts to ring anchors. At times there is some distance between bolts but their placement is well thought-out. The bolting is straight-line while the climbing frequently wanders to either side.
I personally used a stick clip to secure the first bolt and to decipher a sequence between the second and third bolts. Once comfortable with the climbing, I no longer need this aid.
