Travis in the crux of Chomping the Bit.


Description 

Start right of the crack and head up on face holds to the arete/dihedral. Don't clip the nasty rusty old bolt, and pull the moves to the anchors.

A little chossy left around the corner after the 3rd bolt.


Location 

This is the leftmost bolted line under the Overhang. It ends only partway up the wall.


Protection 

3 fixed chain draws, 2 bolt anchor with fixed biners.

A key hold on the left variation at the top, much to the amusement of some, has broken off.

As of 10-30-08, the old rusty aid bolt is no longer on the route. No more aiding through the crux. That's ok, though, because now with the fixed draws, you can lower off the 3rd bolt if you can't pull through.
