Description
This is a toprope line just right (5-8 feet) of
Back in Slacks
, though it could conceivably be led if you really needed the tick. I TR'ed it right off the
Back in Slacks
anchors, clipped through the last bolt as a directional.
Start up the clean face with two huecos down and right of
Power Bulge
/
Back in Slacks
, then climb up a faint rib. Step up into a licheny hand crack (you'd get slammer gear here, but it would be 30 feet of 5.8 free soloing to get here) which peters out below a bulge. Move over the bulge on crimps to a big flake, then finish on the slab as per
Back in Slacks
.
It is not a great climb but gives you some mileage if you're in the area.
Location
This is just right of
Back in Slacks
, south face of the Hand, Dinosaur Mountain.
Protection
Toprope -- hand-sized cams as directionals at mid-height.
Per
Chris Weidner
: to lead, Camalots #0.4, 0.75, 2, and 3.
