Kelley through the undercling crux.

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Description 

The crux comes off the third bolt, but it is not that hard. Stewart Green's new guidebook calls it 10a. No way is it 10a. Give it a go!


Location 

This route is left of Stories for Boys.

Per L G: Near the right side of a big, slabby face. Look for three bolts pointing up to a left-facing dihedral below chains.


Protection 

4 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. You can supplement a small cam in between the third and fourth bolt.

I would say 5.8. Fun, little route.

I thought this was a fun climb. The crux was definitely the undercling section. Although the route is well bolted, I also protected the crack above the undercling with a small #0.75 cam -- but the climbing there is pretty easy and the cam is not really needed. Fun climb!
