40. Big Laughing Gym

5.10d, Trad, TR, 30 ft (9 m),  Avg: 2.8 from 4 votes
FA: Unknown, Equipped by P.P. and E.L.
Michigan > Upper Peninsula > Silver Mountain > Main Wall

Description

Different style than most of Silver Mountain.

Step up onto the second ledge and hope you warmed up well enough. Boulder through the bottom with excellent gear into the top of the crack, aaaaaand it's over.  Anchors do not have rings and are pretty far back from the top of the crack, if looking to TR bring long cord or webbing.

Would be an excellent highball if the landing zone was better.

As the first ascensionist is unknown, the name is a suggestion.

35 feet, trad + anchors.

Location

From the parking lot by the stairs walk towards the trail with white blazes. From the entrance of this trail, look uphill past the first roll and the crack should be visible through the trees. Get creative through the boulders to reach the base.

Protection

Eye it up from the bottom. Two bolts above to establish TR anchor. Can also walk off the top.
