Description No, this route isn't chipped, but in the interest of fairness I will include it within the spectrum of dubious first ascent tactics lest I be further accused of hypocrisy. There are three holds on this route that I re-inforced with sika to keep them from falling off. If you want to go pry them off and return the route to its glue-free state, that's fine by me. Honest.
Fluff Boy climbs directly out the center of the Sno-Cone cave and features a hard boulder problem at the start (now avoided by going right and grabbing the footholds) and a cruxy lip encounter. Fortunately, the holds are biggest where the route is steepest, making it much more do-able than it looks from below.
Protection 10-12 quickdraws.

| As of this last summer this thing is a 15 foot wide chalk streak, speckled with shiny black grease dots. I'm sure it was gorgeous at the time of the first ascent. |

| This weekend I replaced the long velcro sling, which I assume must have been there for more than a few years, maybe since it's inception. It's about the same length and has velcro on it just like the old sling. I replaced the draw after hearing my friend describe falling and ripping through an old Petzl draw on Zulu. If that happened on Fluff Boy you would crater. |
