Access Issue: PRECIPITATION AND WET ROCK Details

The sandstone here is easily damaged when wet. Please allow at least 24-48 hours before climbing after any precipitation. If the ground is at all damp, please do not climb on any local sandstone. Consider nearby options on basalt, limestone, granite, or plastic instead.

Description

Steep fun, even steeper than the already steep Director of Humor Affairs.

Climb past the first 2 bolts and crux of Director of Humor Affairs, and then traverse right on jugs along the lip of a forty-five degree overhang - wild fun!

Location

Second route from the left and shares the first 2 bolts with Director of Humor Affairs before breaking right.

Protection

4 bolts, anchors

5.11a

A much better route than Director of Humor Affairs!! It has better sequencing up top, and it shares the best part of Director of Humor Affairs. A win win variation. Plus, it is a much more solid 5.11a than director of humor affairs. Apr 3, 2010

I think this route is much better that Director of Human Affairs. It throws a few more moves at you where Director let's up substantially. The traversing moves are rad! Nov 14, 2011
