Description Suggest change

This short aid route is located next(right) to DUMB FUN which is located on the east side of the trail to the COFFIN. It is offically located on the KEEL, if you want to look up DUMB FUN in the guidebook. Start the same as for DUMB FUN, then traverse right via bolts and thin nails. Clip a bolt at the lip of the roof, then cautiously tap your way up the featured slab above. After a few spicy moves, mantle a shelf, then slug wonderful long arrows to a chain anchor. Make sure you are knowledgable in the practice of delicate nailing, otherwise this route may not be around in the future. I feel this route to be harder then TIN MAN, yet easier then SKIN MAN (pending that all the fixed gear was pulled out of skin man and you had to hammer new heads). Compared to the BLACK ARCH, I couldn't say, I wimped out on that climb.

Protection Suggest change

five smaller blades, long lost arrows, four beaks, one or two rurps (depending on height of climber). Basically, bring a nailing rack.
