Sump Pump
Description
Start at the base of the big overhang at the same spot where
Trad kr33m
and
Whipping Post
start. Bust a move or two to clip the first bolt, then power out the steep overhang via mostly jugs, clipping two more bolts before the crux. Pull over the bulge, and follow three more bolts up and right through a beautiful, clean panel of red stone. Continue directly into the second pitch of
Prime the Pump
, or bail right to the rappel anchor at the top of the first pitch of
Prime the Pump
.
Using this pitch as a start enables a direct, low-rope-drag way to fire into the beautiful upper half of
Prime the Pump
. Thanks to Matt for finding this line, to Chris Beh for the help with sussing bolt locations, and to OSMP for continuing to support new route development in the Flatirons!
Location
Start 25 feet left of
Prime the Pump
, at the same crack where
Whipping Post
and
Trad kr33m
begin.
Protection
6 bolts. A shoulder-length sling may be useful for slinging a big horn before clipping the first bolt if desired.
