Description Long face to the right of "Curving Crack" and "Deceptive". Can view a photo by finding "Curving Crack" on this sight.Tricky start and equally tricky top out. In between for my money one of the best face climbs for its grade at the Lake.Put some bolts on it and it becomes Jackson Falls 5.10.

| Are the blaze orange slings a must on this one, even in off-season?? |

| Out There is possibly the best 5.9 face route at Sandstone, althouth the 5.9 start to Gargantua might be better. Oh, and there is the route left of Dancing Madly. OK, Out There is among the best 5.9 face routes at Sandstone. . .maybe. |

| I climbed this at the end of October 2007 in a cold 35 degree day. I sent it 3 times. On the 3rd time, I slipped off a hold on top, tried to reach for a crimp to save myself with my right hand, jabbed my middle finger into the wall, broke it (didn't know that yet) and saved myself from the fall and finished up the climb. When I got back home, my finger really hurt. And it continued to hurt throughout the winter. |

| Preemptive "congrats!" to John K.
This climb is four stars, good moves all the way...except for the sandbagger direct start. |

| Thx Nick. It felt great to finally lead this thing. I'd been thinking about it since last season. Thx for the belay as well. And the direct start is the only way to do this thing. Don't use that crack to get to it, just use small crimps on the face. |

| I jumped on this after John, the gear is tricky on suspect rock, hence a definite "R" rating. Put your lead hat on tight! |
