Description A stout little route that will get your tendons working right off the ground, Get It On is known to be burly but a little technique would certainly make it a bit more reasonable.
Stick clip the first or second bolt and use a couple good holds to establish your self on the route. Enjoy the good holds because they run out quickly. Puzzle out a sequence from the many crimps above. Looks like there are many options but they are all quite hard, this is the meat of the climb for sure. A final long move gets you to a good hold midway up the climb and though its not over things ease up a good bit. Use pockets and crimps through here to gain a nice jug at the top and clip those chains.
Looked like holds have broken off in a few places. I don't know if the route has changed much since the guide came out. It feels 5.12d to me.
Location On the far right end of Main Cliff you will see a 50 foot tall imposing wall with a bit of a cave under it. Get It On is the left of the 2 hard routes that tackle this wall.
Protection 5 bolts to 2 bolt anchor. Currently fixed with draws and lower-off biners.

| the 3rd bolt kept coming very loose and i hand tightened it a couple times... i tightened it with a wrench the other day (as well as the 2nd bolt) so they should be good for a while so... Get It On! |

| This route deserves more traffic - I never see anyone else on it. It's is as good as Venus imo (though I haven't sent Venus yet I have worked on it a bit). The technical crux (for me) is a funky long deadpoint for the left hand sloping crimp/rail using the sh*tty right hand crimp you clip off, then a hard lock-off and bump to the two right hand gaston holds. Mental crux was apparently just below the anchors where I have fallen twice from pumping out (go figure). When I picture an ideal sport route in my mind, I come up with something not unlike this route. As Lee says "Get it on!".... |

| PS - A couple bolts may need to be tightened on this route, the first one for sure (even though I started with the second bolt clipped). |

| A right drop knee makes the move to the right hand gaston waaay easier and super static. |
