Johanna seconding Pump Handles, Sandrock, AL.


Description 

Follow an obvious corner system, right of Rabies, up through cracks to horns at the top. Also known as..."them holds be as big as pump handles."


Location 

South side of the Holiday Block, right side.


Protection 

Trad rack; bolted anchors. Because there are no rap rings, top out and move to the east end of the block where you'll find a rap station.

This is a nice line for trad leaders just breaking into the grade, as it's a pretty soft 5.9 (there are 5.8s at Sand Rock that I think are much harder!). The start was actually the diciest part for me; after that, it's nice cruising on the "pump handle" holds with lots of good pro.
