Description Suggest change

Ray’s name for this route comes from the fact that Jim had a really bad cold the day of the FA and was coughing up green ‘lumpy unmentionables.’ He was also slightly poking fun at the other names Jim was into at the time like “Journey from Darkness.” 

Jim remembered carrying a bolt kit, but says he never felt comfortable hooking or standing to place anything. “Seemed to be in the zone that day.. Lucky me” he shared. 'Rick Donnelly, one of the foremost authorities of the history of Southern Arizona climbing referred to this climb as the Bachar-Yerian of Cochise Stronghold' - Toofast Topos 2

Climb the first 70' of the inner passage to the base of the route.
