Description

Start about 5 meters right of Ejaculator between a Yellow Birch tree and a large block. Move up 4th and easy 5th class terrain to a large ledge below an obvious offwidth crack near the left corner of the wall. Climb up through the offwidth then move up on some wild features utilizing underclings, hand jams and cool finger locks. When the crack system ends traverse right along a sloping ledge then up to the Chunky Chunky anchor.

A number 5 cam is essential in order to safely climb this route. Without it a fall at the crux will result in hitting a big ledge. With the # 5 the route is G.

Location

This route is located on the right hand side of Burroughs Wall between Res Judicata and Crack Dance. 

Protection

Single rack to number 5 cam.
