Description Suggest change

If you're here for the Meat Grinder, this problem is a great warm up. Or also good if you are new to offwidth and wanting to test the waters. Start on climbers right with the low ledge and traverse-jam your way to gain a left arm chicken-wing. Then wiggle your way left side in up the offwidth until you can gain the solid hand jams near the top. Top-out and scramble down the opposite side. I have seen this route done by compressing both sides of the arete until either the hand jams or top ledge is reached. Either way, the grade is relatively consistent.

As you approach The Butcher Shop from the direction of The Hog Wall you will see an obscure hole created by two leaning boulders with a dead log in front of the entrance. Traverse around to the opposite side of this hole to find the start of The Squealer.
