Description

Fun little route with some solid jamming that shares the same runout first ~15ft with Badfinger. Splits left at the ledge and climbs the vertical crack above. Ends at the same bolted anchors. Most awkward part is getting into the crack from the vegetated ledge.

Location

In between Gory Thumb and Badfinger.

Protection

The R section is only for the first 15ft or so. The rest of the route protects well. Careful not to impale yourself on the sharp tree atop the ledge where the crack starts. We used a #5 in the upper crack section but a #4 would work well too.
