Not the best topo of Ugly Stick, but enough to hel...
Description
Bolted generously because it is long, steep, and a little bit rotten; hence the name.
Location
To the right of Winter Warmer.
Protection
16 bolts to triple Winch Hook anchors (clip & go convenience). Ring anchors 12 Meters up, after the first two bolts, to accommodate parties with ropes shorter than 70 Meters.
Awesome route, and definitely a little long. The more traffic this route sees the better, since it will clear up any remaining loose pieces. Some of the rocks look a little loose, but are actually pretty solid. Fun and LONG route. Would like to lead this next time I am on it.

Well done! Interesting climb bottom to top. About two thirds up is where the business started for me. The character of the rock changes and you have to pull over a weird bulge. Bottom crack was excellent as well. The burliest moves are in the crack, but you are still fresh then. Belay from the anchors and have your second trail a rope up if you do not have a 70M rope. Still some loose stuff to be cleaned but it's not too bad.
Edit 11/24/2007: Managed to "clean" a bowling bowl off this on lead. There are still some rotten sections, so be vigilant.
It's cleaned up well so go climb it. It's a worthy route and proof that size really does matter....and that there is more to climb higher up on N Table. thx Kirk.
Kirk - I met you up at Table about 2 months ago and you told me about this climb. I will be doing it this week, and I just wanted to thank you for your thoughtful work.

This is a fun route. Nice to get airy for once at table. Pretty clean considering the length.
