Description
Weeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhheeeee
Is it a train? Is it a truck? It’s a train truck!
Start with a wake n bake followed by a river dunk. Throw your headlamp, hand jamies, puffy jacket, and maybe a knee pad into your pack then embark on the grueling approach to inner walls.
This unique route climbs horizontally (and down) out of the mega cave just past “Tang”. Begin standing on a small rock in the back of the cave and reach up to the first goodish hand jam. The first 15-20 feet are the crux but don’t let your guard down yet! A few tricky sequences remain in between sections of hanging stem box and horizontal chimney climbing.
As of publishing this, dedicated route anchors don’t exist. I finished the FFA by climbing to a restful stem/stance about 10 feet up past the lip of the cave. From here, it’s easy enough to down-climb or down aid a few feet to the first bolt of Tang and lower from there.
Obviously the route must be reclimbed (easier to reverse than to follow) to clean.
Rock is surprisingly clean and solid but does seep a bit at the start. Doesn’t affect the climbing as much as one would think.
Grit, Torque, TrainTruck!
