Geriatric's Day Off

5.7, Trad, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 1 from 1 vote
FA: Draper, Hollada
Tennessee > Tennessee Wall > T-Wall East

Description

Surely been done back in the 80's as a free solo, but no record and probably overlooked just because there's too much other good stuff around.  But fun nonetheless if you're hanging around the Exodus, Genesis, Slug Trail area.

Follow crack system through lichened rock slotting small nuts and aliens. Unexpected jugs and edges lead to a slightly spicy crux protected by pretty small gear. Trend left to finish at top of hand-sized crack beneath small tree. Sling tree and lower or continue up next easy buttress to end at Slug Trail anchor tree.

Location

Face 10ft left of Slug Trail. 

Protection

Small nuts and small cams. Nothing larger than .75 needed.
