Tangelo

Description

Tangelo is a short bouldery route on the orange lichen covered wall to the right of A Gift Shop Life.

Climb through the first, (steep) boulder problem to a no hand rest above. Now climb the vertical face with slopey crimps, aiming for a cool triangular jug up high. This is a boulderer's route.

The starting jug sounds hollow, but I yarded on it with a crowbar, and it wouldn't move.

Location

It is the short route with a steep start at the right end of the cliff.

Protection

4 bolts to anchors with steel loweroff biners.
