“Oh No, Not More Bass!” Suggest change

The full barbershop roof. Do you dream of grovelly offwidths but only clip bolts? Do you wish you could butterfly, Leavittate, and calf lock but you only know how to kneebar? Many of us yearn for suffering, but that yearning may be blissfully sweeter than the real thing, especially when it comes to OWs. Let’s face it, most of us will never be Wideboyz, but we can all wash our bassbins with some determination, a good belay, and maybe throwing the mythical “back heel”.

Jump into a jug at the base of the tube feature. The inversion section is honestly pretty easy, but tiring enough that it changes the nature of the V6ish boulder gaining the lip, and even the moves above. If you can deal with some total body fatigue and increased blood pressure in your brain and still stick the boulder, maybe you deserve 0.75 extra letter grades over Oops, but as always it’s up to you. Grades be damned this is probably the longest sport roof (near roof?) in our area.

Bassbins are a type of subwoofer. I always heard “wash” rather than “watch”, because they’re dirty just like everything else around here.

The route is very closely bolted to keep you comfortably off the ground. If this is a problem, you’re welcome to hike 15 pads up the hill for your better style ascent. Would be 5.10+ in Vedauwoo, and only valid if done in carhartts instead of kneepads. 

Location Suggest change

Climbs the obvious tube feature of the barbershop roof, finishing as for Brown Note/Oops

Protection Suggest change

Stick clip only the first bolt to avoid a bad swing. Can hang every draw from the ground with a stick clip.

6 bolts, walk-off and untie or clip the All About the Bass anchor with certain rope drag.

A few are mechanical and will be replaced with glueins this season.
