Description Suggest change

This is the line right of Meat Puppets listed as Open Project #34 in the Granite Guide. This was bolted in the late 80s by Lance Bateman though may have seen earlier attempts up the crack portion of the corner.

Really nice stemming up a micro seam brings you to a small roof. Above here the corner is very obtuse and the holds are sparse. Things stay fairly moderate up to a distinct boulder problem crux heading slightly left out of the corner to a small stance. There is then a second bouldery crux kicking back to the corner and stemming in slightly higher. Things ease up again following a lovely crystal strewn slab to an anchor at the lip.

Location Suggest change

The obvious green corner 120ft off the ground, directly across the gully from After the Fall. This is a second pitch, best approached by climbing Green Adjective as a 40m pitch with some rambling to a set of anchors just below this corner.

Protection Suggest change

Quickdraws for the corner pitch, gear for the approach pitch, a 70m rope for the rappel back down (watch your ends and aim up gully)
