Description Suggest change

The Potato Chip is a wild thin flake perched up the gully from Hollow Man. Novel macro laybacking and crispy thin jugs make this route a neat little adventure. Just don’t pull too hard on this chip!

Starting at a belay bolt, head up a short broken finger crack. Once you reach the flake, pull around the left side to a bolt. Punch it straight up the flake to a wide hands piece, then two more bolts higher up the flake. A wild hand traverse at the top leads to two bolts and chains.

Location Suggest change

Head up the right side of the talus field as for Lonely Challenge proper. Just before the gully pinches down, traverse left across the talus to ledge systems below the obvious stance. Scramble up to a belay bolt at a nice exposed perch.

20 minutes

Protection Suggest change

3 lead bolts, single rack to 3, stoppers. Two bolt anchor with chains.
