Description
The last of the three Willy routes to be done, but perhaps the best of the bunch. Originally attempted by a friend years ago but a sketchy fall and ensuing darkness nixed the finish. It has since had some loose rock removed and 2 bolts placed.
Start on Wet Willy but move right down low (reach around and clip a bolt). Crux moves get you under the roof and a horn shaped jug at the lip. Make another cruxy move past the other bolt and continue up the wall on good horizontals and finger to hand sized gear. Lower/rap from the shared anchor.
