Description Suggest change

This route is the fourth bolted line (from the right) on the Barnyard wall. It exits the alcove immediately to the right of Bantam of the Opera.

P1: 5.10c  Climb the right hand bolt line out of the alcove that is just below Bruise the Rooster route. The rock on this first pitch has a fair amount of exfoliating small crips so carefully test the holds before pulling to hard. Climb up the bolt line to a hanging belay about 100 feet up (?10 bolts). An alternate option is to climb the first pitch of Poultry Emulsion (the next line directly to the right) then traverse over to this belay. That pitch is cleaner and slightly easier.

P2:5.10+/11a Climb up the awesome featured face directly above the belay turning a difficult initial small roof, then up thin edges to a right facing corner capped by another small roof. Turn this and run it to the belay on jugs. (?10 Bolts)

Location Suggest change

Hike up the the Barnyard wall on the upper west face of the Sheephead. There are 5 bolted routes here and one trad line. This route is the fourth bolted routed from the left.  It starts in a dark water carved alcove down along the wall near its right edge.
