Alabama > Little River Ca… > Crazy House

Description

Starting in the rear/corner between Scorpion and Asylum. This is the first route that exits the roof/cave. You pull though the roof on good holds. You’ll get a decent rest after clearing the lip and you’ll need it for the boulder problem guarding the anchors. 4 bolts. A Crazy House Classic.

Location

Starts deep in the corner of the low roof-cave between Scorpion and Asylum. Scramble up to the small ledge where you’ll start the climb from. 

Protection

4 bolts to the anchors.

[Hide Comment] A fun, pumpy little Crazy House Classic. This climb marked my first 12b and I also nearly took out Mark Cole when I dropped a big flake inches from his head as he belayed me around 1990. Apr 15, 2019
