Gobble This arete.
Add Photo  Printer View
Description This is the bolted arete variation to Wudamudafuka. Climbing this is not climbing Wudamudafuka
Start on on the finger crack for Wudamudafuka until it ends on a sloping ramp. Delicately reach out left around the arete and clip your first bolt. Balancy, thin face climbing leads you past 3 more bolts to a thin, perplexing crux getting to a hand jam under a chockstone on Wudamudafuka. Cruise up good jams to 2 coldshuts.
Location Gobble This is located in the middle of Turkey Tail, right of Whimsical and left of Drumstick.
Starts on Wudamudafuka.
Protection Light rack, a couple mid-large stoppers, 1 of each cams #0.3, #0.4, #0.75, #2, #3, #4, 8-9 draws.

| I think this one is harder than I Turkey/Resurrection. Or maybe I Turkey is easier. Same thing either way. |

| Hey Monty, Kevin McLaughlin and I put this variation up back around 1992 I think. |

| I figured it was you guys. Great line, I really love the arete moves. What did you guys originally rate the route? I felt that it was on par with I Turkey, harder crux, but not as sustained. |

| When we did it originally, I thought that the arete moves were a little easier than the initial finger crack section of Wud. I think Wud was rated .11+ so that's what we went with. We did the route again about a year ago and the upper part of the arete seemed harder than I remembered. I fully attribute that to being fat & old - .11+ seems pretty accurate. |

| You definitely have to switch gears in a hurry, between that brutal slippery layback at the bottom, and the tweaky arete action up high. Makes for a really good route. |
