1) Never park or camp overnight at the access points.
2) Always park off the pavement, taking great care to avoid blocking the gates.
3) Clean up after your dogs. (Local climbers are finding abandoned doggie poop bags.)
4) Pack out all trash and TP, including picking up after others.
5) Use the outhouses if at all possible.
Description
Alongside Holey Wars and Holey Mackerel, they make the Holey trifecta of the ORG.
A set of anchor bolts were put up by Todd Graham some years ago but then it just sat abandoned. I checked in with Todd and got the green light to bolt the whole line in 2021.
It's a special route with funky mind-blowing good moves. It's very slightly overhanging yet climbs like a slab. Techy, powerful, it has jugs, nothing crimps, pockets, underclings, side pulls, and most importantly, often nothing for feet. I broke so many important holds in the process of trying it, eventually I stopped counting but I never lost the desire. I reinforced nothing, glued nothing, and chipped nothing. It's a minimalistic climb for those who seek out this style. I'm happy to say now there is really nothing left that can break.
First 5.14 in the ORG. As far as I know, as of spring 2024 it has one repeat by Alex Honnold who confirmed the grade.
