Description
The Centerpiece of The Gunks. The middle line on the wall, it starts right of “Better to…”. the first 20 feet are some of the most safe/climbable and AWKWARD moves you will do at Index. Try not to laugh at your partner as you’ll be in the same spot soon.
Move to the far right of the ledge and into the pod. Grab the Monkey Bar rail and traverse back left then head up using the vertical Tippy-Tips and horizontal Juggy-Jugs.
As normal for this cliff, head-pointing this climb is best. TR it by heading from the base of the cliff up and right to the giant roofs and then left 150 feet to the top of the cliff. We recommend belaying a Lead Climber by setting up an anchor on the giant ledge.
