Description
A short route on the Merrimac to serve as a good warm up for the longer routes nearby, or a good second route if you drove all the way out there for just Without A Net and are hoping to do an extra pitch. It got the name because I climbed it one day hoping to find an anchor hidden somewhere up there. Not finding one, I down climbed the pitch. The route was good fun, hypothetically. A week later we decided it was worth doing again and added an anchor, 4.75" SS Five-piece.
Good hands lead to a funky chimney entrance. Walk a #6 as high as you can as you move up the chimney. Place a #5 and pull out into the layback, or offwidth if you want to practice calf locks out a roof.
