Heel-hooking and clawing for the next hold on Moe....

Description 

An exciting roofy start leads to mellower climbing on positive holds.

Starting under a roof below a slanting crack, make a tough, reachy move or two past the roof and into the crack. Cruise up to another less strenuous overhang; pull through this and continue up the face to the top.

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 about 5' right of Larry below a slanting crack. Rap from the anchors.

Protection 

Small to medium gear, and slings for the chickenheads. Bolted anchors.
