Lovin' Spoonful

Description

A long pitch, with an easy bottom and formidable looking upper section.  

~5.9 climbing on loose rock down low leads to a ~20 ft runout over easy, solid rock up to a ledge, above which the rock is considerably more solid. Carefully hang the draw above the ledge and crimp your way through the fun, cruxy face. Squeeze into a dihedral for a nice rest, then pull the small roof/bulge to the anchors just above (not visible from the ground).

Location

Just left of the multipitch.

Protection

9 bolts to chains.

[Hide Comment] There is a really scary runout after the 5th or 6th bolt (at about the same height as the first pitch anchor of "In Your Eye.") It's on easy terrain, but a fall from there probably wouldn't end well. Dec 24, 2019

[Hide Comment] The short run out is by no means scary or serious, of course a fall from the ledge wouldn't be the cleanest fall but you'd likely be just fine. As mentioned you clip a bolt off a ledge, all ya gotta do is not just off the ledge. Apr 20, 2023
