Description

Bottom Feeder is a similar line to Gumby Killer, interesting features up steep terrain. Pull up some awkward face moves to a small corner, then pull up the corner on some thin pockets and a lot of tension. Head up thin seam and crimps to the chains.

Location

This is the 2nd route from the left, just left of Gumby Killer.

Protection

Quickdraws, chain anchors.

[Hide Comment] The description might be a little misleading. From the 3rd bolt, you have to pull into the crack and jam your way to the top, no crimps or pockets that i saw. Bring your lead head for this one!

The bottom and top of the route might have a few small holds loose, but other than that the route is killer! Would be a hard onsight. Kenley and I yo-yoed this one. Oct 19, 2017

[Hide Comment] I think the first photo here is wrong. From what I can tell, that photo is an un-named line with a chopped anchor. I think Bottom Feeder is the second bolted line from the left. Fun climb! Jul 19, 2023
