Description

A fun bouldery route that takes a little endurance despite its length.
Follow the center line up the main face at Squirrelhouse. Tricky moves past the 2nd bolt lead to a horizontal break. Traverse this left before firing straight up past two fixed draws. At the last bolt, traverse right and up to the anchor.

Location

Center of the main face at Squirrelhouse.

Protection

5 bolts. 4 and 5 are fixed draws. Steel lower-off biners at the anchor.

[Hide Comment] This is a great route that deserves more traffic. Darn near as good as Arapilesian Dog, with more shade but fewer hero moves. Burdo describes the style as similar to a short Newhalem route. I think it feels like a harder version of Guides Day Off at the main wall. Do it! Oct 15, 2017

[Hide Comment] This route is quite fun but the wall is scattered with bolt hangers, it is quite bizarre. I would be happy to remove them next time I am out that way if they are just remnants? May 26, 2021
