Description Suggest change

Use that imagination and call it whatever you want, but I’m rocking it old school here in honor of heroes past and simpler times. A combo name provides for quick and easy identification of a linkup. Proud Bootlegger combines the best climbing of both individual routes, or at least is an enticing alternative to the awkward and committing regular finish of Proud Father. This line was conjured back in the day as an alternate finish to Proud Father, but it was low on the list and never happened. Once Joel and David established Bootlegger, the link became more apparent, even sought after both for the introductory .11- grade and the quality of climbing.

Start on Proud Father in the same system as BFAM. Continue straight up from where BFAM breaks left, passing a bolt and a thin crack in an open dihedral. At the ledge, move right and join Bootlegger for another 30’ of fun climbing. Hoping this link will smuggle in enough stars to shine new light on what is mysteriously, John’s only contribution to the Waterfall. But he was always thinking on a grander scale.

Triples #00- .5, doubles on .75’s. Small/medium wires could prove useful. Four runners to even out your rope flow.
