Description

Just left of Dummkopf Crack, sit start as for Felsblock with the right hand on a right facing sidepull jug and a hamburger hold for the left. Pull on and grab a slopey edge with the left and pop high with the right for the bottom of the little right facing arete then bump again. Continue straight up left of the crack. The middle can spit you off unexpectedly if you screw up the beta so pad up the ankle busting rocks behind you. There is often a bird's nest below the little roof forcing you to use a less positive hold. Avoid if there are eggs or young in it.

Location

about 6-7 left of the Dummkopf block

Protection

a couple pads. A spot is not a bad idea

[Hide Comment] The bottom section off the slopey crimp felt really hard. maybe i'm missing some key beta or something. Pine line felt a lot easier if just a bit more committing. May 5, 2020
