Description
Mind Blowing!
Start on the short version, an interesting moderate up expanding flakes that checks every box for new climbers dipping their toes into rainforest granite.
From the chains follow bolts up a slab using the left facing corner / face for holds. Similar feel to the “Lithuanian Lip” at WA pass
Pull the roof out right using slopers, side pulls and controlled feet. Expect a dynamic exit for most humans. Most will make an exposed dyno to a meaty jug.
Beta on the Dyno: [difficult to grade - sling your weight and skate some smears.] ((Tommy had a devious, dark and impish humor that appreciated a heart breaking finish)) That is why I chose this line in his honor.
** control your swing **
**This route honors my friend who died climbing in 2020. Tommy’s spirit for life was infectious. We are often drawn to climbing for the challenge. We make it a life long passion through the people, community and relationships built over time. Tommy was the guy you wanted on your side when it was hard, scary or uncomfortable. He spent his life serving others in medicine and called upon the lessons learned in the hills, to make all our lives a little better.
