Description Suggest change

Start up a twin crack for 20ft, then it is splitter #6 to the anchor with a couple of constrictions/angles to keep it interesting.

Some of the holds near the top aren't bomber due to low traffic at this crag, but if you stay in the crack the quality is high.

I believe the Kelly book has an error as it lists #11 as "Love Handle" with a description that matches this route, then #12 as "Obesity" with a description that matches the route to left. There are plaque's at the bottom of both of these that name this route "Casual Six" and the other route "The Love Handle". To confuse matters more the book lists "Casual Six" in the "Old Crusty Crag" section which also matches this route description. I believe the plaques are correct.

Location Suggest change

In a large flat belay area just right of the very wide crack Love Handle, there is a plaque for both.

Protection Suggest change

3-4x#6, 1-2x#5 for up high, hand sized pieces for start, you could also place a tight #7 in places if you don't have many 6s.
