Description 

Impulsive Hands is a pretty ridiculous linkup that adds about two medicore moves of new climbing. The good thing about this variation though, is that it replaces the worst climbing on Six More Bottles of Basco with the best climbing on Don't Be Messin' With Ma Moves.

So depending on your perspective, it could be argued you get the quality of Don't be Messin... combined with the length of Six More Bottles.... Or it could be argued you take a perfectly good route like Don't be Messin and make it worse by adding an awkward traverse and two more bolts of chossy crack climbing.

Climb Don't be Messin... to the anchor, then traverse left to the crack of Six More Bottles, and continue to the anchor of that route.

Location 

Begin as for Don't Be Messin.../Six More Bottles..., at the far right end of Cactus Cliff.

Protection 

Bolts the 2 BA.
