Vince working out the low crux in '08
Add Photo Printer View
Description Bolted in 2001 and worked on by a number of people Vince finally worked out the cruxes. This route goes on and on. Despite the knee bars that allow numerous rests you are working the whole time. Two cruxes, one low and the very sequential and harder high crux lead to forty feet of less overhanging 5.11 to finish the route.
Location This route starts the same as Orifice Politics but busts out right following a thin seam at the small roof just right of a big vertical rail.

| Inspiring sends, amazing indeed, and I got to watch them both. :-) Congrats!! Since I am not american, I had to look up "tat" and this is what wikipedia says: "Thematic Apperception Test or TAT has been amongst the most widely used, researched, and taught projective psychological tests. Its adherents claim that it taps a subject's unconscious to reveal repressed aspects of personality, motives and needs for achievement, power and intimacy, and problem-solving abilities." How do you guys choose your route's names ?! |

| Great send Eric!!!! Wish I was there to see it! |
By Christian From: Tucson, Az Aug 7, 2009
| Nice Eric!!! PS Aleix "tat" means like old slings left behind to rap, etc |
By Geir From: Tucson, AZ Aug 7, 2009
| exactly. the literal translation of this climb's name is "chicken house filled with old slings and webbing." :) |

| Das ist korrekt Mr Hundal |

| Chicken wing is what I got with my left arm while in the head and shoulders rest. Tat is what we removed when we started working on this route last year. Chicken shit is how we feel the first day back at the Orifice wall. Couped up is how we feel when mother nature calls in a big way and we need to get off the ledge in a hurry. Wow what a great name Vince. I think you have a knack for this. |

| Congratulations goes out to Jesse Shultz for what I believe is the forth redpoint of this route. Way to go! |

| yeah jesse!! |

| Yes, Jesse sent it yesterday, but it wasn't just a send: right when he got past the crux it started pouring and had to do the last upper section with rain in his eyes and water flowing over the holds. The waterfalls at the rim and out of the orifice chimney appeared. He stuck with it and finished the damn thing, an epic send. When I lowered him he was soaked as a duck. Probably the hardest send of that route. Congrats Jesse ! |
By JSchultz Sep 10, 2010
| Thanks guys. Sending that was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I still can't believe it. |
By Christian From: Tucson, Az Sep 10, 2010
| "Soaked as a duck" lol :-) Nice job Jesse! |

By Pat Mac From: Tempe Jul 25, 2011 rating: 5.13a/b
| Wow. Went up it twice. Second try I made it to the final crux and forgot to get the undercling!!!!!!!! It will be very close from now on when I give it send attempts! Can't wait to touch this stone again! |
