Description
Pitch 1: 13a, 14 bolts. Thin face to a small roof. Continue up the excellent 12a technical face above. Belay at the mussies on a small ledge up and right of the P1 Megaplex anchor. This pitch was originally done turning the roof slightly further left. Bernd rerouted it more direct over the roof which improved the pitch.
Pitch 2: 11c, 16 bolts. Move slightly right and climb cracks and a groove until forced left onto "Choss Tower". Belay at the top of the tower.
Pitch 3: 12c, 9 bolts. Climb a short distance up the easy chimney before exiting left onto the exposed face at the top of the Mustache. Face climbing and seam moves in a great location end at a mussy anchor at the top of the Mustache wall.
This route was mistakenly named "Snively Whiplash" instead of "Snidely Whiplash" in the DeVore guide. Snidely loved to twirl his handlebar mustache as he tied Nell to the tracks.
WARNING - It's best to do this route with an 80m. It is a full 40m rappel/lower from the P2 anchor to the P1 anchor. However, it can be done with a 70m by swinging over to the P1 anchor of the Toiler instead of the Whiplash P1 anchor.
