Description

Listed in Squeezing the Lemmon under the illustrious title "Unknown 5.8" this route featured unique joys such as rusty SMC hangers and a death defying traverse to clip the first bolt. Thanks to our producers at Extreme Route Makeover, this Rusty Relic was transformed into a Logical Lead, with the addition of modern bolts and a dedicated lower-off anchor.

Stem from the belay area to the first bolt, then commit to the face and continue through alligator skin plates and in-cut rails, to a crux sequence at 2/3 height. The holds remain positive here, but a couple tenuous body positions keep it interesting. The climbing begins to ease as you pass the last bolt.  

This route might be as good as watching HGTV at a dumpy motel on a road trip. Whatever that means... 

Location

This is the right hand route of the two that start in the "outdoor shower" alcove across from the Golden Egg. The route starts in a chimney and climbs the featured face above. Tailgate Tango is to the left.
