The main roads are all on public property, but don't drive down anything resembling a driveway or leading to a residence. Maintain a low profile when climbing here. Keep dogs in control or consider not bringing them out here. Camp well away from any cabins, watch your campfire carefully, and pack out all trash! The cliffs and access are all on public land and legit, but the proximity to private holdings requires sensitivity and best behavior. Be good stewards to this special area and we'll all enjoy it for years to come!
Description
Begin with some easy climbing on flakes to gain the steeper white rock. Some low 5.12 (I think?) climbing leads into the obvious crux boulder problem surmounting the steep bulge midway up the route. The boulder problem is reachy, very cool and very hard - probably around V7/8. The name is based on my solution to the boulder problem. Traverse left at the end of the boulder problem, milk the rest then tackle the technical (and sharp!) headwall.
I haven't been able to get back and invest the required time to complete this one so I'm opening it up for everyone. Because it hasn't been climbed on much, the upper half is still very sharp.
After I completed bolting this, I headed back to civilization to find out that the bolting issue had blown up and a bolting ban had taken effect for the BigHorns. Maybe the last legally bolted climb in the BigHorns?
