Taste of Honey

5.8, Trad, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 2 from 1 vote
FA: unknown
Washington > South-Central &… > Tieton River > Wildcat Creek > Honeycomb Buttress

Description

Protecting the cracks between column ends, this is a unique climb that would benefit from more traffic!

Location

Go all the way up to the right end of the slab, taking care on the bits of loose dirt.

Protection

Smaller cams through #1, quickdraws. Anchor is bolts with tat to quicklink, so would benefit from a good samaritan adding chains or at least a carabiner on each bolt.
