Description

Sustained 5.8 climbing with no real crux, this route is solid for the grade, and will likely present a significant challenge to the entry-level 5.8 leader. Juggy, but overhanging, the climbing necessitates solid technique to keep the pump at bay. The route rewards climbers who can backstep and keep their center of gravity in close to the wall, but relentlessly punishes those who try and pull themselves up with their arms.

Location

Locate "

Shroomin'

" on the downstream side of the boulder. "Mushroom" is the first route to its right. Alternatively, locate the waiting line at the base of the boulder and just get in line.

Protection

5 bolts to sport anchors. This is a very popular route. Watch for worn anchors.
