Description

Swellbow is a short offwidth on the far right of Machete Spaghetti wall. After climbing a short face enter the OW and wiggle your way on up to the top. The name comes from when the first ascent was being made and John fell in the crack but caught himself with his elbow.

Location

Machete Spaghetti sits just west of Pig Platter which is just a few yards off Mt Scott Road. Park at Juji Fruit pullout (the one that looks like a ramp facing Hunting Horse Hill). Hike down and go north passing Monogamy Rock, Boomer Boulders, Pig Platter, and then to the WNW go 50-60 yds where a rock outcropping near a treeline leads down off a ledge. This is the topout of Machete Spaghetti. Scramble down to your right, north, and then go back left south to stand beneath the 3 crack problems and 1 face problem of the main wall.
