Huong pulls onto the juggy face on Larry.

Description 

Don't let the fun, juggy climbing down low lull you into complacency -- there's some tricky, hard-to-protect moves toward the top.

Starting just right of a prominent boulder, pull through an overhang onto nice conglomerated knobs. If the overhang seems too hard, you can bypass it by stemming between the boulder and the wall and then transition onto the face. Continue up the face right of the blunt arete and finesse your way through slopers to reach the anchors.

About the names: This is one of three undocumented climbs on the Burly Girls pinnacle that I found myself referring to as the Three Stooges. These have been climbed for many years, but I've not been able to find anyone who knows the real names for FAs. I don't like posting "unnamed" routes, so until I learn otherwise, they are Larry, Moe and Curly.

Location 

Starts just right of the corridor that leads to Pile Driver. Rap from the anchors.

Protection 

Small to medium gear, with plentiful opportunities to sling horns. Bolted anchors.
