Fat Man's Misery

Description

Start on the ground at the same spot as Klingon Pizza, but instead of heading up and left as that route, follow a thin seam that slants up and right, over some hollow sounding plates on that lower face.  Additional pro could be placed in the underside of the adjacent parallel slanting overlap just above and left.  This seam ends up on the same halfway ledge as Klingon Pizza, but further across to the right.  Bolted anchor hangers there, with no rap equipment.  This lower half of the route likely done many times as the more favorable approach pitch to access Bonfire.  From the anchor bolts on the midway ledge, reach up and right to continue onward via sidepull features, then through awkward slots and tight squeezes.  Some fun interesting stemming amid all that.  The suffering soon gives way to juggy pulls and easier terrain to top out at the same exit gap as Nickel Slots.

Location

Near middle of north face, the prominent right-slanting seam to wide slots that tops out at the same exit gap as Nickle Slots that comes up and left from the ground.

Protection

Pro to 4", gear anchor. Scramble across topside and outward down to the bolted rap anchor atop Bonfire.
