Pain Strain

This route was recently (July 2016) scrubbed and brought back to life! The climbing is easier in the beginning, protected by very small gear, and then before the crux you get good gear that is more substantial. However, from the crux up to the Gelsa belay ledge there is no more gear, and a fall from here could be long compared to the length of the route. The crux is a fun boulder problem, and it is very easy to set this up as a top-rope by climbing the first pitch of Gelsa.

This route is located about ten to fifteen feet left of G-string. Locate a small dying tree that has a orange, right-facing, 5-foot-high corner just above it.

Very small gear (00,000 C3's) then standard rack.
