Bubba's Belly (aka The Example Simulator)

5.12c, Sport, 60 ft (18 m),  Avg: 2.6 from 7 votes
FA: Richard Aschert, Dave Dangle, Darryl Roth
Colorado > Canon City > Shelf Rd > Gym

Description

Technical bulging route with a dynamic move to start the crux sequence - sticking the dyno is only the start as horrid feet keep things in your face for a bit. If you get through the crux (midroute), hang on through the slabby 11+ moves into a roof and a bizaare finishing move.

This route is one route left of The Example.

[Hide Comment] This is a worthy pitch with a nice, condensed crux in an otherwise jug haul. I am not sure where this mentioned dyno is - we static'ed everything. Don't be scared of the monos either, you have huge feet, and they’re more of a setup into the thin crux. This is worth jumping on if Ejection and Gym Arete are being groped to death. Mar 24, 2024
