Description

Uncertainty Budget begins to the right of the shared start of Drunk Punk Oi and Dehumanized. The climb starts with some mild movement over decent holds and then you are faced with a boulder problem protected by small cams and a VERY attentive belay. The belay can be from the ledge or the lower tier... You decide. I'm just shorter than 5'8" and the boulder clocks in around V6 or maybe harder... for a person of my height. After pulling the boulder problem you continue mostly straight up with reasonable gear and 5.11 climbing through neat jams and holds. It joins Drunk Punk Oi around the 5th bolt of Drunk Punk. Since you just climbed some hard boulder moves over thin gear and a ledge you might as well skip all the Drunk Punk bolts and instead place gear and clip the chains. I led this rope solo style entirely on gear for the FA.

The route can be toproped from the Drunk Punk Oi anchors.
