The Kid

Description

Make a hard move past the first bolt and continue up a long easy runout to the third bolt. Climb up to a steep headwall, clip the fourth bolt, and make a tricky step around to the right (5.8 R). Carefully climb up and left to the fifth bolt; a fall before clipping this bolt would be very serious.

Continue to the anchor and lower (100') to the ground with a 60m rope.

This is a fun route to do before or after Walk on the Wild Side.

Location

The Kid

climbs the left side of the detached slab down and right from the start of

Walk on the Wild Side

.

Protection

Five bolts to a two-bolt anchor (all 3/8"). The 5.10a move at the first bolt is well protected, but there is a long runout on easy climbing between the second and third bolts, and a runout 5.8 move between the fourth and fifth bolts.

The route is about 100' long; you need a 60m rope to lower.
