Hoots Your Daddy?

5.11c, Sport, 40 ft (12 m),  Avg: 3 from 3 votes
FA: Casey Elliott
Nevada > Western Nevada > Reno Area > Owl Rock > 2. B'Owl Obstruction…

Description

Clip the first bolt for b’owl obstruction then clip bolts left of the arete. Eventually ride the left side of the arete until you can get established on the slab. Cutting to the slab earlier is harder but  later is maybe more fun. Do your best to not get tempted to go off route to b’owl obstruction as that would not make for a nice fall. 

Location

Same start / first bolt as b’owl obstruction but then go left. 

Protection

4 bolts, (second bolt is a permadraw) shares anchors with the Great Hootini. You could climb the last 10 feet to the b'owl obstruction anchors if you wanted and clip through the Hoots Your Daddy? anchors on your way down to make the route cleaning easier, or just go to the Hoots Your Daddy? anchors, as all the harder climbing is done at that point.
