Description 

With a combination of thin, balancy crack climbing, featured slab and exposed knob pulling O.U.L.D. is a climb not to be missed.
The fun, bolted 5.9 slab warms you up and leads to the shallow corner that makes for the crux of the climb. Utilizing small cams and wires (RP's helpful but not necessary) carefully work your way up the beautiful tips/finger crack to a rest. Shake out and continue straight up the finger crack past some small bushes. Move left to a left trending flake peppered with knobs and pull onto the ledge to a three bolt rap station.
O.U.L.D. is an acronym for Only Users Lose Drugs.


Location 

O.U.L.D. is found at the center of the 2nd alcove to the left of We Be Jammin', right of Walking Jack. An obvious line.


Protection 

Thin pro is required. Small wires, doubles of cams from 3/8" to 2" and one 3" and 4" cam are helpful.
Bring draws for the bolted slab at the start.

One of the first routes I helped establish at The Woodfords... it got the ball rolling. Woodfords, the area that keeps on giving. Milt

The thin crack is the money! Engaging, technical climbing awaits you with face moves and finger locks aplenty. The rock quality is good on this crack so I felt alright about the micro cams that protect much of this section.
