Description
This route is a linkup of No Women, No Cats and Lazy Boy. It is pretty much the same route as Triple Link-up in the Steve Edwards guide book, except it does not finish on the complete Makunaima Direct. Triple Link-up was first toproped by Phil Requist and John Mireles in 1990. They likely did the first toprope ascent of this route, too. Since this route is one of a few fully bolted routes on the Makunaima Wall, we felt it deserved its own name. The name comes from the cool slopers in between No Woman No Cats and Lazy Boy. Enjoy!
Climb the first 4 bolts of No Woman No Cats, then continue right to another bolt to then join Lazy Boy, which pulls the roof and climbs straight up huecos to the top of a small pillar. This is where Makunaima joins from the right. There is an optional small cam placement here (0.3 BD or next size down) then either exit left around the corner on easy terrain or climb up and right on big cool huecos to join the top of Makunaima Direct. Either way, finish on the Makunaima anchors.
The one bolt connecting the two routes was placed on lead.
