FA Rich Gottlieb, Richard Tyrell - 1979
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

This underrated Rich Gottlieb line is a really excellent moderate. It includes some interesting choices to make on route finding, and a big crack near the top that's harder than it looks.

Start on some slabby face climbing with sparse pro, moving up to a bulge/shallow roof. Surmount the bulge and continue up to a fairly wide crack (fist or wider); climb through the crack and on to the top.

Location

A short distance left of Yum Yum Tree; watch for a wide blackened crack near the top of the cliff.

Protection

A standard rack including a good range of cams up to 4" for the crack up high. Bolted anchors.
