Description
Technical thin/finger crack with jamming and liebacking off the ground to a crux midway up the first crack easing to hands, followed by a large flat ledge and an easier short yet steep arching finger crack to the top. The pro is not great at the crux, but you can get some small brass there. The second should be solid for this one; the traverse out of the first crack to the ledge sets up a good-sized pendulum fall. Pumpy for the rating.
Location
Facing Frontal Lobotomy, this route is about 50 yards to the left, up the gully (this is the obvious drainage left of Comic Book). It is easily visible as a clean crack that reaches the right side of a ledge at 2/3 height followed by another slightly arching crack starting at the center of the ledge and topping out.
