Nick on TR. First bolt is high. If Nick was lead...


Description 

The crux is between the first and second bolt, one tricky move. Butt bombs onto rocks/tree roots are possible. After the second bolt, great cruising on jugs. When you get to the big hueco stay to the right of it.


Location 

To the right of Somn Somn.


Protection 

8 bolts, rap hangers.

Favorite at P-Rocks. May need to tie your belayer off to a tree. Look wide right for your foot to help beat the crux. Nice sustained route. Could go 5.10 because it is easier than the one move on atropine but harder than some Red Wing 5.10s and one in Logan Canyon, Utah.

The lower portion (first 40 feet) of this climb was fun 5.9+ climbing. However IMHO the 5.7 scramble to the hangers was very sketchy. There were dozens of broken off holds at the bottom of the climb plus many of the holds at the very top were hollow. Belayers beware. Because of that I don't think this climb is worth it.
