Description
The Mating Ritual consists of wildly exciting and strenuous movement from bottom to top with very technical sequences on quality rock. The route is visualized in three sections separated by two poor rests. Begin in the chimney and cut left with a big throw past the first bolt. Finagle your way through an undercling sequence (or muscle up directly if you are strong). V7 with the right beta or powerful V8 without. The second crux is the wild flying squirrel move: Launch off a right hand sidepull, catch your left in a wedge, then catch a hidden hold right around the bulge all in one dynamic lunge (V6). Taller/stronger folks might be able to static it. Cop a quick rest on jugs with no feet, then move left into the dihedral for the third, easier crux.
The route is short and stout; shorter but much more challenging than Redwood Burl and similar in difficulty to Thank You Thighmaster but with many more hard moves. The grade was confirmed as “13b or 13c” by Ethan Pringle on the second ascent. It’s a tough one to grade since you can make it super technical or super burly.
