Description
I don't know what the name refers to, but this route is not a "pile" the way I use the word to describe a climb. And though its not a classic either it would be considered worthwhile by most climbers I know. It is split in two parts by a cozy ledge at the halfway point. Both parts are fun, but the upper section rules.
To the right of Cuckoo's Nest start near a large tree and climb flake edges up and left to a good stance at a crimpy face. Climb some 5.10 crimp moves up to the ledge and move right to mantel it. Shake it out if you need to and make easy wondering moves until you find yourself at the right end of an intimidating traverse left. You would think that you would jam the crack but there are perfect pinches spaced along the 15 foot traverse that are perfect to pinch and lay back off of. There are no feet to speak of but the wall has good friction. If you get tired, stick a kneebar and take a shake. The anchors await just over the top of the flake.
