Binge and Purge 

The Harding Slot of Indian cr... but certainly not as hard to get into or as sustained

one would have to be very slender to squeeze the bulge/crux- I tried but didn't fit. I worked a left chicken wing, left foot cam with right hand using crimps and slopers to work my way up the first part of the bulge. When I could no longer reach the crack with my left foot, I cut loose and threw a high heel hook with my right foot and manteled over the roof. After that its 6-?inches of staight forward OW to the chains(a #4 or #5 big bro would be needed to protect the last 10 feet)

Much easier than Big Baby.

I loved this climb! I'm alsways looking for interesting squeezes, and this one takes the cake. I scratched up my harness buckle pulling myself up through the roof, and found it much better when I re-did the route in a swami belt. It's tight!

be careful, I way 175 and it was painful getting through the chimney, almost got totally stuck. #6 camalots above the bulge

If you can fit through the chimney slot this might be 5.10 but if you have to go around I would say 5.11 is more accurate. Bring at least one #6 Camalot.

Gave up trying to fit through the chimney on this one. No need to lieback the outside, though. You can leg bar the inside leg & chimney/stem with the outside leg, and work up the chickenwing until you're high enough to grab the knobby corner. Press both hands tight on that and do a mantle! Upper OW is fun & straightforward armbars & heel-toes. Some cheater holds near the end make the final overhanging bit pretty reasonable.

After a fairly crazy night at the cotton woods, I decided this is the only appropriate route for me to climb. A route name like binge and purge was going to royally fix my hangover. After forgetting a #2 camalot and having one of my friends run around to get me a perfect hand jam piece, I placed a #5 in the large part of the crack and put my right shoulder in the crack. WRONG! I had to down climb and switch to my left shoulder. I groveled my giant body through the slot purging me of the horrible feeling in my gut from the night before. Once on the ledge the terrible nauseous feeling started to triple. Well who cares how you feel just start off widthing this giant crack! I placed a six and started groveling. The groveling took forever and the nausea was getting worse. I placed 3 #6 camalots for that section and when I got to the final roof I grabbed a bunch of thank god jugs that freed me from the off width. I climbed to the top of the crack and wiggled my hips in and just waited for the nausea to fully take over. I didn't puke, but it was real close. Have fun!

Ben! We all felt that way that day! But as I recall you also sent fingers in a light socket that same day like a boss! This is a truly unique and an incredible climb!
