Description Suggest change

Boulder up a slippery face and have a seat on the ledge by the chain draw. Clip this (or don't) and then squirm through an awkward roof to a stance. Balance and stem up the corner for about 20 feet until you reach a series of vegetated ledges. When the bushes overwhelm you transition over to the Rhea County face to reach a set of anchors. It's easy to avoid the little tree halfway up, please leave it alone.

Location Suggest change

Climber's left of the Soul Sounds buttress. Shares a start with Rhea County Gun Club. Chains at the second, third and fourth bolts.

Protection Suggest change

Since Rhea County Gun Club overlaps this climb you can clip quite a few bolts, if you want. If you elect not to clip the first three bolts, standard stuff will substitute. After a finger sized piece or two, the corner gets very small. Like 0.1, 0.0, ballnut, brass nut small. Scrounge up all your smallest gear, because it's not easy up there.
