Description
Coined in NC select as one of the longest routes at Rumbling Bald. Nut n Homo is an older line with a dangerous first pitch and a grimy crux. Pitch 1 starts left of a tree that has fallen against the wall. Climb up the slab onto a ledge. Surmount the small bulge and aim for the first bolt. Careful as the feet in this are exfoliating and a slip would result in a back breaking fall onto the tree and then the ground. Climb to another bolt and then angle left a a wide crack. Build a belay somewhere comfy under the roof 5.8 R
Pitch 2 make a mellow traverse left under the roof eventually pulling onto the face and continuing left. Pass by the anchor station and keep going until you make it to a huge spacious and comfy ledge under the crack system 5.8
Pitch 3 climb the weird arching wife crack which is a little dirty as this thing doesn’t get any traffic. Make off balance moves to where there is a blank section in the crack. Negotiate your way through this past the tiny dead tree/sapling/bush thing. Follow the crack and then cut back right to a ledge where you can build a belay. 5.10
Pitch 4 climb up pockets and pinches to the summit 5.9
Rap back down the stations you passed on the way up
