Styrofoam

5.8-, TR, 25 ft (8 m),  Avg: 2 from 1 vote
FA: unknown
Virginia > Central & South… > Richmond Vicinity > Belle Isle > Quarry

Description

The last route on the second main face of the quarry. This route focuses on the last large overhanging feature on this face. After climbing up to the feature,  a crack that runs along the entire right edge of the flake becomes a great layback opportunity. Follow this crack up onto the top of the flake and go for the chains. (page improvements coming)

Location

The 5th (and last) set of chains on the second face of the quarry. The route begins next to the arete that separates the second face from the third around the corner. 

Protection

Bolted anchors with chains. Trad is possible but the route is short.
