Description
I had done some climbing with author John Bronaugh. He was sharing some thoughts on climbing and said, “What could be more fun then hanging out with your friends and getting dirty and bleeding?” So I named this route as a tribute to John. Don’t let the name fool you.
About midway along the wall between Texas Tea and Block and Tackle is a kinda right trending open book dehedral type crack. Burrow up behind some rododendrons to a low ledge, fire up a short toothy section to more friendly rock, jam, layback, and jam to an alcove. Cut left along a thin arching crack and finish on a ledge. From here, several options of varying difficulty are available for another 10 feet to the ridge top. Or call it done and rap from a tree off the ledge.
