Description Suggest change

This rope-stretching pitch provides everything Valhalla can offer: Thunder Ridge 'gator skin, chickenheads, and an improbable, overhanging ending on the biggest jugs you could dream of...all while being protected with bomber trad gear.

Start below a steep section of patina, climbing straight up to the first and only bolt. Trend left through the featured rock, finding placements within the edges of the alligator-skin-like rock. Above, stay left of the shallow crack, utilizing slings to protect giant chickenheads and cams in the horizontals. As you near the final headwall, trend right of the left-facing dihedral, tackling the steep face directly. A final, 45 degree crux, that protects well with finger-sized pieces, must be surmounted to clip the anchors.

Location Suggest change

This route can be found by walking rightwards along the wall, directly behind the very large, dead pine and a convenient rock slab for staging packs.

Protection Suggest change

A 70m ROPE is REQUIRED. 1 bolt, a single set of nuts, doubles in small cams to #0.5 Camalot, singles from #0.75 to #3 Camalot, many extra slings to protect chickenheads and extend placements, and a 2 bolt anchor with chains.
