Description Suggest change

This route, Grahm and I’s first potential FA together, is the Watch Me Wall’s version of Atlantic Route.

Scramble to the ledge 15ft up where Jerm Squirm exits and either begin in the groveling OW corner, or boulder up the face to join the corner with full jamming or laybacking until you reach the second ledge.

From the second ledge, continue past a couple more layback blocks to the base of the large chimney. Climb the chimney with a mix of face-in or face-out technique for about 70ft until you reach the large chockstone cove to build a belay.

Walk off down the ribs going east to the 3rd class gully that goes all the way to the base of the mountain a couple hundred feet east of where the climb started, or scramble to the Cowboys and Cossacks tat anchor or the Stone Poem bolted anchor and rap using a 70m.

Can be done in one pitch if using a 70m rope - may be doable with a 60m if belaying from the Jerm Squirm exit ledge rather than at the base down in the trees.

Location Suggest change

Large left-facing corner just left of Jerm Squirm, Jomby, Cowboys and Cossacks, etc.

Protection Suggest change

60-70m rope. Really large pro would be useful, or it can be done with a few runouts using a standard rack.
