Description This route is just plain FUN!!! It is playful and challenging and exposed and if you climb at this level and aren't wicked short (some pretty big moves) just get out there and do it. This is the most fun route on the right side of the cliff.
Pitch 1: Climb Charity Case (5.9 and fun in it's own right) to the anchor and belay.
Pitch 2: Climb up and slightly right on moderate climbing following bolts till the rock steepens and the holds thin a little. Make heroic moves up the inverted section above maybe even hucking a little dyno at some point. A few good rests will help you keep on keepin on. Climb a couple more tricky bulges till you end up on the crazy exposed arete way off the deck and make intimidating but not too hard moves to a clipping jug at the quick clips.
Lower back down to the anchor and rap to the ground.
Sooooo Fun!!!!!
Location Technically the route starts at the anchors at the top of Charity Case (5.9). I put it in as a two pitch route so folks would plan to have to do it multipitch style.
Protection 10 bolts to quick clips.
the falls are safe :)

| It's been some 6 years or so since I've climbed this route, but I clearly remember totally diggin' it. As lee describes, this route has great exposure, a bit of heroism, some pucker, but nothing dangerous, and definitely nothing to have any reservations about. Not to mention, it's a two pitch route at Rumney! |

| I climbed this today and neither my partner nor I find it to be particularly dynamic as the book and lee describe. In fact, I can't think of any move that we didn't do statically. Perhaps we did the crux a little differently. It's a very incredible route. |

| Don't be sorry Lee, it was more the guide book that lead me astray, but we weren't disappointed in the least. I'd be interested in hearing how you get through the crux at some point. |

| I made a toss near the end of the crux sequence which was pretty memorable with all that space up there. The hold I threw to was a big flat left hand below the ledge that I matched afterwards. My partner went to it R handed and static but with my foot positioning it was easier to go L (and I'll venture more exciting). All-in-all, great route with wonderful positioning. I was lamenting that Rumney doesn't have as many classic 11+ as it does mid 12's but then you discover routes like this and are reminded that many gems still exist. |
