Description On the main face of the Pub Wall there are three or four lines. This one climbs the face just right of the wide crack past a couple bolts to a rest ledge. From here follow the thin crack and face up the slightly overhanging wall to an anchor.
Protection 15 draws or so. Originally led on natural gear.

| A Gorge classic with sustained climbing along a bolted crack system, which means those with crack technique may find this easier than those without. The guidebook notes this as the "steepest 10c in the Gorge". |

| Polished, buffed, slippery, but...it's damn fun climbing. Great jug hauling with a few jams and locks thrown in. I would give it 4 stars if it weren't so buffed out. I guess the overuse is a testament to how good the climb is? |

| Nice climb. The crack offers really good positive laybacks almost all the way up. |

| I don't want to alarm anyone, but I have heard of a least one occurrence of a rattle snake found 2/3 of the way up this climb, casually chillin' avoiding the heat in July. |

| "15 draws or so"? Try 9 -- and slings or something for the substantial anchors if someone else is cleaning (esp. if your whole group is going to seige it).
One of HW's distinctive features is the bolts themselves -- huge hooks. These guys weren't messing around, rattlesnakes or no. |
