Description

This route is a fun-fest adventure for folks looking for perfect hand corners. It has a hard, but bolted start(shared with its twin, Babe) that can be easily aided to get to ledge where the rewards await. Once at the ledge, the most fantastic hand crack on slightly overhanging but perfect stone with an incredible finish. Have to try it to believe it!

Location

Scramble towards the ledge on the left side of the HOG by tucking behind a large upright flake. The route is the rightmost line of bolts heading up a seam near the oak. Climb this to first ledge, stand up, clip 4th bolt and get to second ledge. One could belay from here (another 0.75 then) but continuing in single pitch works better. Step left to obvious easier crack, and blast up while laughing all the way to top!

Protection

Triples from 0.5 to #2 camalots . A single 3 and a mandatory purple C3 for protecting the moves right after the bolted section. Maybe an extra #1. Bring draws for the 4 bolts and some extras too. Bolted anchor with biners (use draws to top rope!).
