Hang'n Loose

FA: Jake Burton
Hawaii > Maui > Backside

Description

The starting point is about a foot or two right of the white bird poop when getting out of the ocean. go straight up to a rest right and just before the bird poop. Traverse left at the bird poop to a huge flake then straight up the face on jugs you swear will break but are solid (Strength tested at 195LBs). This is the crux. Finish on easier less vertical face but a bit chossy. Name surmised when I traversed to the flake past the bird poop and my foot hold snapped making me cut loose 20 feet up.

Location

This route is located just 3 feet right of Seizing Brutus's Tide. Easily identified by the white bird poop half way up the face.

Protection

This is a Deep Water Solo with no protection except for a clean fall into the Pacific Ocean.
