Description
A few strenuous moves getting off the deck lead to excellent feet for an easy traverse to the bottom of the ramp. Place a cam or two if you want, but the moves are so easy you really don't need them. Easy moves to pull onto the ramp. Good hold on the face above where the ramp narrows. Finish at the dead tree.
The climb was named Ker Plunk after Charlie fell a substantial distance and lived, after landing in the river. In reality, it was a miracle he was not killed. Charlie was a fantastic climber and pushed the limits. But this was enough to pack it up climbing, and too many of his 9 lives were spent on this one.
