Gimme Your Lunch Money ($273)

Gimme Your Lunch Money cuts the eastern face of The Crucible from top to bottom and begs to be climbed. A slightly overhung, offset and titled start gets the party started and the crack is just too wide to stack and just too narrow to get your hips inside! Perhaps being awfully huge or tiny will be a benefit!April 28, 2020 was the first time Miles laid eyes on the climb as he hiked straight up Mt Scott from Spicy Meatball boulder in search of new lines, but a huge nest of bees kept him from getting too close to check it out. A few months later he lowered in a removed a number of loose rocks and found the rock to be quite hard with very few choss scales inside the crack. After the initial session it was obvious some crack education would be necessary.Pete Whittaker's Crack Climbing book arrived a few days later and was swiftly stolen by John Lozano.Fast forward a few months of training and sessions on Blood Pact nextdoor, John Lozano wanted to give Gimme Your Lunch Money the first ground-up tries. After a humbling start and dirty go, John sent it clean Dec 4th 2020.Due to the tunnel vision of a possible send, packing up and getting down the mountain GYLM cost the three climbers $273 as they got a ticket at the gate for being on the mountain after dark."I still don't know how I climbed that thing" - John Lozano

Park at Pirates Landing (first parking from the top of Mt Scott) and walk downhill 30-50’, turn left to the east and scramble down the talus to a grassy slope. Head east to where the boulders run in a downhill edge and follow SSE. After a few ledges downhill look east toward the south bankline of Lake Lawtonka and a bald large dome with large huecos facing skyward and a couple cedar trees will mark the topout of The Crucible which has climbing faces pointing south and east.  To see the climbing faces you’ll have to pass the crag heading east. Once you’ve found the dome with huecos on top the easiest scramble is south for 10-15 yards and then turn  left and corkscrew down into The Crucible’s south face. Coordinates: (34.7424145, -98.5297211)
