Access Issue: Stick Clipping Is Highly Recommended
Details
While all routes have been thoughtfully bolted, many lines contain a high first bolt. So, the local ethic is to stick clip the first bolt, and eliminate ground falls.
Description
This climb is similar to Drunkards in the way of how it angles to the right and is well protected. This is a great climb for those learning trad. Crux is either the crux of Makanda Layback or getting off the ground for The Gully
Location
Begin at the base of Makanda Layback, climb up to the bolt, clip in and follow the crack at your feet as it angles to the right, top out on Camel's Hump and use the anchors to belay partners up. (Easier Variation: climb up The Gully, go to the bolt, and then traverse right)
Protection
Standard traditional rack plus draws
