Description
Located less than 100 yards above the lower parking lot, Most Honorable Hose Bag follows a difficult to distinguish, left-rising weakness towards a large groove at the top of the wall. Protection is almost non-existent, with what little found most likely not worthy of holding a fall. I found no pro in the last 35' to 40', with a fall from the top likely a grounder.
Broken rock, difficult route finding, and the scarcity of protection make this route a serious undertaking; however, a confident and experienced Eldo climber should have little trouble. Step lightly, pull gently, and enjoy the "experience" of climbing this route!
Location
This is [on the South Rotwand and] directly above the lower parking lot, on the left if driving in. From here, it is best to consult the guidebook as the cliff has few distinguishing features.
Protection
Very little, a couple of nuts and cams to 1". Long slings are useful for wandering placements and slinging small bushes.
