Description Suggest change

Also known at the BUFF (the Big Ugly Fat Fella), this link-up climbs Seventh Tentacle, traverses right along the first half of The Mustang roof but stops halfway and joins Queen Cobra to attain the icicles of The Fang on the right side and finishes up the ice to the top.

2022 Video of Will Mayo climbing The Stratofortress (B-52).

Location Suggest change

Start on Seventh Tentacle, and finish at the top of The Fang. Lower off the two bolt anchor at the top of The Fang with an 80 meter rope or, with a 70 meter rope, pull the rope up through the gear and drop it to the belayer for re-belay and lower directly, or simply rappel. The Fang anchors are just less than 35 meters above the deck.

Protection Suggest change

Bolts and icescrews for Seventh Tentacle and the top of The Fang.
