Description
About 40-50 feet right of the start of Television Man is a rotten offwidth in a prominent left-facing dihedral that is capped by a big, square-cut overhang. The left end of the overhang angles up to the left and is defined by a strenuous crack. The crack continues above and peters out. This route was undocumented until now.
On May 1, 1992, I led the offwidth and traversed the crack to the left to the left end of the overhang, where I pumped out and took a winger onto an original #4 Camalot. Jack Roberts went up and climbed past my high point, continuing up to where the crack was about to end. He brought me up. We rapped from a jammed knot made from a single strand of sling wedged into a 3/8” crack. We climbed Television Man next and retrieved the sling when we rapped from the TM anchor.
Our ascent was likely the FA, because I know someone who climbed this at a later time and said his was the FA.
