Description

This fun little route starts on a pillar with a high first bolt (5.8 to reach it) and then continues up and right through a fun little crack (hands/fists). Clip a bolt and head left on cool jugs and do the first crux. Head up Moderate terrain and get ready to pull over an awkward but cool downward facing flake to gain the anchors. Overall a pretty fun route!!!!

Location

Left of G.E.D.. Look for some brown looking patina on the face with a traversing bolt line.

Protection

10(?) bolts

[Hide Comment] Fall Guy Extension 12a, 42m.
Clip the righthand anchor bolt of Fall Guy and crank a move off of a side-pull. Continue up the flaring seam protected by another eight bolts to the top. Lots of cruxes and lots of good rests. A few mindfully placed long draws on Fall Guy are recommended. Lower-off.

Knot your rope end! 17-18 bolts and a 2-bolt anchor with lower-offs. 80M rope required to lower to the ground. If your 80m rope doesn't quite reach the ground there is an easy down-climb from the ledge on climbers right. If using a shorter rope, lower twice by using the Fall Guy anchor. Jun 12, 2021
