Tina Sommer styling Humbolt


Description 

Start atop a big block and climb a finger crack followed by a tricky mantle, then crimping and edging on the thin face left of the arete on small edges to a 2-bolt anchor. This climb is thinner but not as steep as most at Diablo, and fun, high quality climbing.


Location 

Just left of 2 Wheel Drive.
It's climb #8 in this online guide photo


Protection 

9 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.

This route was established in March 2000 by a host of characters on a beautiful spring day at Diablo, including Josh Smith, Mick Schein, Walt Wehner, Leslie Kelch, and Rick Bradshaw. This gets early morning sun and has a bit of everything making it a great warmup for the Early Wall.
