Gull Whackers
Description
Well, you could call this Older Dihedral...but it isn't in Rossiter's nor either of the more recent Rolofson's guides, so what the 'eck? In the middle of the lower Animal World cliff is a large, right-facing dihedral capped with a chimney. That's the line. This is temporarily named for its easy acceptance of those British hexes...don't be offended if it is your route.
Head up the obvious corner with some slippery feet to start. Of course, you will not only be prepared for gulls but, here in the Front Range, also pigeons and bats. About 40 feet up, you can choose to either continue up the chimney (less appealing) or angle right along a crack (best bit) to the 8th bolt of
Jaycenne's Dance aka Animation
. Continue to its top. Rap.
Note, there are still some loose flakes on the route. We didn't want to clean it with dogs and ladies below.
Location
This lies between
Joint Venture
and
Jaycenne's Dance aka Animation
. It starts up and...at least for this writeup...connects with
Jaycenne's Dance aka Animation
at its 8th bolt.
Protection
Single set of cams to #3.5 Camalot with a few larger, gull whackers, 4 QDs.
