Gracie's Eight

Description

Be prepared to crimp, undercling, mantel, lie back and balance your way up this route, which will feel harder and headier than most any other 5.8 at the ranch, and significantly more involved and committing than most of the "8s" next door, at the Cliffs of Insanity. This fantastic line starts with a bouldery crux on thin holds to get off the ground, then works its way up ledges and flakes. A heady mantel guards the final moves to the Mussy hooks at the anchors.

Location

 This is the first bolted line (about 20 feet) to the right of First Time Up (a dihedral/flake fist crack system), and is about a dozen feet left of a currently (2020) unlisted 5.11-ish line with a hard bottom section.

Protection

About a half dozen or so bolts, Mussy hooks at anchors
