Description Suggest change

This short route climbs better than it looks, but that's a very measured compliment.

A good long brushing might do it some good, as it gets very little traffic and has quite a bit of lichen on it. Perhaps 4 meters to the right of Howdy Ho!, there lies a second line of green bolt hangers. The first two protect the crux, which is more or less a V1 boulder problem. Execute the crux, which might be harder for very short people, and head up onto the slab above. Climb up and left past 3 more bolts. Near the top, watch out for a semi-detached, cinder-block sized rock on the right. It might not hold much but is easily avoided.

Top out in the slot to reach a 2 bolt anchor. Belay there or add long slings and lower.

At some point, you will need to clean the slings or belay, but a 1-minute walk off to the West (climber's left) takes you easily to the ground.

Location Suggest change

About 10-12 feet to the right of the 'Turd,' this line ascends a short, steep section of rock at the ditch, then goes up and left on casual moves to the anchor directly behind the 'Turd'.

Protection Suggest change

5 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor - there are no rap hangers or chains on one of them. Clean and walk off.
