Description

This route, whatever it is called, is another tick on Obscure Eldo route tour on Lower Peanuts. This is a neighbor of

Home Free

and

Double Cracks

.

Find the ledge to the base of

Star Wars

. This terrain is easy to the base here. This line starts right of

Star Wars

by perhaps 40 feet.

Find a double crack system. Start just right, stem, and yard on top of a ledge. Here you face the crux. There is not much pro here though. Step up and reach to a big flake. Find a series of improbable holds all just enough to keep it 5.7. The pro is certainly spartan at best. Lichen here tells a tale of less traffic than other sort-of-classic routes nearby like

Star Wars

and

Home Free

.

Perhaps a better option for those climbing in this range: TR this line with directional pro from the top of the first pitch of

Double Cracks

There is a spot for a #1 Camalot and this can be equalized with #0.75 Camalot under the flake about 4 feet above.

Protection

A light rack & decent size gonads.
