Description
AKA: B-Bro, By the end of this route I was calling it the Chocolate Rib. That should be its name.
This is in the Bingham Guide to the area.
First pitch melow 5.8.
Second pitch is tricky and steeper...cruxy.
Third pitches is Full Value 5.9. Maybe 5.9+. Exciting trad climbing leads to bolted slabby arete rib feature sweet patina. Rap from chains.
Hardest 5.9 on Bracksieks Pillar.
We had two 60 meter ropes for descending. We rapped back to top of Lil Buckaroo in one rap.
