Bulge to Groove

This is another line on which to play to extend your visit to Mill Creek Crag. It catches your eye as you stand below

Freeway

and ask yourself if this is doable. Yes, it is, but protecting it on lead safely is not as clear, since some of the features you would use for your hands might be the same ones you'd use for your pro.

Start up similarly as for

Freeway

, but veer left under the bulge utilizing nice underclings. The chunk of rock on the corner/arete that you may use wiggles, but it didn't come out easily. Pull out to the left of the arete, move up to a stance. Small cams could be set in the groove. Continue up to the left of the groove up a few feet, then move right into the groove and up to the ledge. From the ledge, you can finish on the balancy 5.10 double cracks to the anchors.

This starts as for

Freeway

and quickly veers left.

You can TR this off of the anchors for

Freeway

. It is likely you could lead this on gear to a #1 Camalot size with an emphasis on smaller cams (note, I haven't tried this yet).

Note, there is no fixed anchor on the ledge 40 feet up.
