Description
Climb 5.10 ground past three bolts to a rising diagonal slash in the wall. Cut right a bit, then move up on crimps in the red-orange rock to a horizontal crease/rail. Make your way left (some campus, some heel-hook) to a tough clip and the redpoint crux. Hero jugs await on the colorful stone above. Finish at anchors below the tree.
Location
This is the leftmost route on the west face of Hillbilly Rock. The route climbs over a small bulge then up a red face to start.
In order to keep access copacetic and ensure the future of new-routing at this and other cliffs, climbers are asked to use the original approach trail, to the East Face of Hillbilly, moving along the eastern edge of the big gully running north-to-south up to the toe of the rock. Cairns have been placed on the talus and rock slabs marking the beginning of this approach. Please leave these in place or feel free to add others to mark the route. A trail day in 2022 helped solidify this approach, and it now has good steps at the bottom.
