Access Issue: Access is always an issue here. Details

Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean.

Description

Third Oldest Underground climbs the splitter with the overhung alcove to the left of the hard unprotectable Boulder lines that are left of GCS and Glasgow Grin.

Start out on imperfect hand nodes and crank up to better solid jams and a great foot. Work up on burly-for-the-grade crack sequencing with some bomber foot jams to keep it sort of cruiser sort of burly. Earn sloper jug and begin the double mantle topout.

Anchor right on top with BD2-3 or wrap a boulder.

Location

Two cracks left of Glasgow Grin. The splitter with the overhung alcove start beside the dark corner.

Protection

BD0.75-3, anchor BD2-3

Third Oldest Underground seen from the topout. Its just slightly overhung to make the moves feel less freebie than the many slightly slabby more popular splitters.
