Description
This is a double homage route—my amazing scooby-doo Dane/Rodesian dog passed away this year. She was the best. Her name was Chali. She used to collect rocks and would literally “dive for rocks”. Also, similar backstory to a fantastic and classic route of the same name on the Greenbelt in Austin, TX. So...double-homage.
Very fun, overhanging, gym-like moves. Some hard to find holds, and some that may not make it...there are also great “stances” throughout. The first bolt is a little high and a yellow #2 metolius or similar sized cam works great to “help” getting there.
