Harvey Dent AKA Lichen You

5.7, Trad, TR, 40 ft (12 m),  Avg: 2 from 4 votes
FA: unknown
Wisconsin > Central > Necedah (Petenw… > 12. Anthrax Wall

Description

There's no pro for the first ~15' so it's PG13 unless you scramble up on the right side to place a piece before starting.

First half is a steepening slab with ample edges and ledges amongst the lichen. Pull up and right onto a ledge and a steep start to the crack. Great jams and pro in the crack, some friable rock outside.

I imagine this has been climbed before. Anyone know the FA and real name?

Location

Back of the Anthrax spire, uphill / around the corner (right) from Fistful of Metal.

Protection

Hand/fist crack. Gear anchor.

[Hide Comment] Bob Wojcik and I climbed it in 2017. If I’m remembering correctly, it has a faded spray paint at the bottom that you can vaguely read ‘you,’ correct? We called it Lichen You for the day. It’s a fun little route, but I also doubt we were the first ascenders either. Sep 24, 2019
