Description
Fat Man's Demise is a classic sandbag for some one who has no offwith experience and a cakewalk for someone who does. It was one of my first wide leads, and I sent it in epic fashion. It starts with a sort of dihedral offwith to a ledge, to a chimney, to a couple hand jams to another chimney with a crack in the back, to a neat sandy bowl shaped belay ledge.
Location
This is an obvious chimney/off-with climb in the alcove about 20 yards left of Climb and Punishment.
Protection
Protecting this climb is a little tricky, the first section (though only 5.7) may deserve a PG rating with out Big bros. Big bros could be useful but would probably be overkill. The best pro I found all the way up was hand and finger size. It has a two bolt anchor (Eds. which may not be there).
