Description

Start in the same place as for the Eastern Front, and climb directly up the right-facing corner and to the large roof. Then step left under the roof to a chimney with good hand jams, and climb to the ledge shared by The Fiend (the upper section is shared by Brain Cramps and Eastern Front). The route was named because of the Green Dragon acid the first ascent party was on when they climbed it (info received straight from the horse's mouth).

Location

Hallucinogenic Blues is three climbs right of Straw Turkey on the sunny side of Turkey Rock.

Protection

A standard rack to 4".
