Description
Effigy Too is located just left of the bolted Crossroads. The upper crack of this climb is arguably the most obvious feature on the wall.
Originally rated 5.9+, holds have broken on the beginning portion of the climb, making the route much harder than it was initially.
The crux is the first 15 feet of climbing and the climbing is harder than it first appears. A fall just before you snag the jug would likely result in a groundfall, hence the R rating. The difficulty eases up substantially once you reach the vertical hand crack.
Descent: Climb down the chimney to the south as for Bacon Flake and Out on a Limb.
