Damned if You Do

FA Randy Kieliszewski, Steve Habovstack, 1998
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Start either at the base of

Damned if You Don't

or 20 or so feet right of

Day as Night

and gingerly fourth class 45 feet to a ledge.

Damned if You Do

takes the obvious bolt line above. A ragged, vertical shale band left of the bolt line can be disconcerting, but the bolts are close enough together that I think a fall would be safe with a watchful belayer. Easier than

Rebel Yell

, harder than

Fine Arete

, and definitely a step down in quality from both, the route is worthwhile nonetheless. The crux may be clipping the bolt just before a huge jug, depending on how you get to it. (Date of FA from rc.com).

Location

This is the line of bolts beginning off a large, loose-shale infested ledge system about 45 feet up, between

Damned if You Don'’t

to the right (the right-most bolt line on Dam Wall) and

Day as Night

to the left.

Protection

Dozen or so draws to chains. Lower/rap from a single 70m.
