Description 

5.10 can be very steep at the Red River Gorge. Poopie Head is a fine example. If only it were longer!
Climb up small but good pockets to the high first bolt. A clip stick could prove useful here. Continue up to the second bolt and to a small roof. Pull up over it and hang on to bigger holds on steepening terrain to the top.

Location 

Follow the direction for Del Boy but keep going on an exposed ledge that may require a short bit of crab-walking to get to the large ledge below Seek The Truth. Keep going past the large ledge and up a small incline. The wall on the left has two obvious, vertical light streaks. Poopie Head ascends the left of the two streaks.

Protection 

4 bolts to a two-bolt anchor.
