Sprinkling Pockets

Description

Wild pocket pulling directly over the crashing waves. Have your belayer sling the big boulder and belay down low on the ramp. Step left over the abyss and pull an incredible V4 sequence left of the second bolt, then up six more bolts of steep pockets . The bolts are close and the route is steep so falls are extra clean. It felt very reminiscent to Great White except that Sprinkling Pockets is a bit shorter and has smaller holds. Absolutely incredible climbing 

Location

Next route left from Osteoporosis

Protection

9 bolts. Glue-ins

This would be my favorite hold on the route if there weren't so many cool holds.

about UNDERTOE... or a variation via ferrata, well, it needs attention to enable the work on the many virgin, hard, vertical lines which girdle this perfect piece of stone. Feb 2, 2017
