Description
Definitely one of the most fun climbs I have put up lately. A little face climbing with a bit of lichen leads to overhanging orange face. A spooky looking, but now well attached flake, thanks to a 12 inch glue in bolt begins the fun. This thing was mor solid than it looked and even with a 3 ft. crow bar I couldn't get it to move. The bolt reinforcement just lets me sleep at night and feel comfortable posting it. Cut feet or don't, everyone loves the monkey bars and the next 15 feet is like a school playground. Eventually, holds lead you left on to Sea Snake. Get a good shake then head up and right to the crux of the climb. A bit tricky to sort out you can be comforted by a bolt at your chest. Once above this you will need to manage the pump and sort out a few more moves to reach the jugs to the anchors.
