P1. Solid jamming to layback slipperiness.

Description The crux is not exposed, so the name is a misnomer. Pitch 1 (5.9+) has a mix of liebacking and jamming, with some loose rock. Pitch 2 (5.10A) has some strenuous and awkward jamming in the back of a large dihedral.

| There is a 3rd pitch to this route that wanders on the face just right of Angel's Fright. The gear and bolt on this pitch suck, and it definitely put some fright into me anyway. |

| Sounds like you did the last pitch of Frightful Fright, a seldom done and well named route. |

| hmmm. Well that definitely explains some things. I guess I need to study the topo a little better next time. |

| Human Fright is an awesome climb. Loved the jams, loved the liebacks, loved the chicken wings! |

| There are rap rings on slings on a small tree at the top of P2, so you can rap with an approx 56m rope to the rap anchor at the top of P1. |

| Super fun first pitch (all we did). I'd say 9+ is fair, definitely not 10a (not even in the same league as Super Pooper!) Lots of loose blocks, but they all seems relatively secure.. though it does add a little creep factor to the climb. |

| Great route. Thought the second pitch was quite good! |

| There is one fixed pin on P2 above the crux in the no hands rest. It's kind of hard to spot, but convenient if you see it. |

| There was intact webbing but no rings at pitch 2 rappell; we added a bail beaner with duct-tape (didn't have rings). Please leave for future parties or replace with a ring. |

| Surprising that the second pitch seems to get little traffic. Its well worth climbing! I found a few small/medium stoppers to be useful on P2 in addition to the standard set of TCUs and hand-size pieces. |
