Hara-Kiri in a Combine

Description

Fun route with some intimidation factor. It climbs better than it looks from the ground. Move up the column face slightly left of the bolt line for several clips before crossing right and up to a fingers/ring-locks crack. Plug a piece or two from great stances and then up to another bolt. From here, head left and clip another bolt to protect the crux. I remember finding a nice knee-bar rest here. Fun, bouldery moves lead into an obtuse corner feature and jugs at the anchors.

Also known as

Seppuku

, Hara-kiri is primarily described as the now-abolished Japanese ritual of suicide by disembowelment. The act was performed to allow samurai facing certain death the ability to die with honor and to avoid torture by enemy captors.

Location

Immediately left of

Beta Junkie

. Look for 3 or 4 bolts leading to a nice crack and a steep finish.

Protection

Bolts, 1-1.5" gear for the crack. Rap hangers.
