Description Suggest change

While perhaps not a king line, this link-up does add an enjoyable new moderate route up the right side of Whippersnapper, and you get to climb the best part of Mutton Buster.

Start up Knowledge was their Treasure, following interesting, technical, low-angle climbing until a large horizontal cave/pocket just before the wall begins to steepen.  From here, look left to see a single link-up bolt towards the upper part of Mutton Buster; pull an interesting move to gain the ledge, clip the link-up bolt, then traverse over to finish on Mutton Buster.  Note that you will NOT clip the chain draw on Knowledge, you will traverse before that.

It's a good idea to use a long quickdraw on the first bolt of Mutton Buster to minimize rope drag.  Cleaning the route is a bit of a pain - make sure to use a "follower" quick draw.

Location Suggest change

Starts the same as "Knowledge was their Treasure", but cuts left to finish on "Mutton Buster" just before the angle kicks back.

Protection Suggest change

12ish bolts to lower-offs.
