Description 

I put up this route last September 2009, days after Daryn Smith's (Stymingersfink) death. I never knew him away from my computer but he left an impression.

First pitch, 5.9, 130'. It looks crappy but is very solid and a lot more fun than you'd guess by looking at it.

Second Pitch 5.10, 70'. looks 5.12 from the ground and is just good fun. It's actually 5.10. If you've got small fists, the start will feel 5.11.

Location 

The prow where Sacred Cow wall meets the Original Meat Wall. There is a plaque.

Protection 

Hands and fist size gear. A few smaller pieces too.
