Description

Fun and well-protected face and arete climbing on classic Vantage .10a holds. The right arete is a really cool feature. Stem across the chimney onto the column that Lord Of The Flies (5.10b) ascends, as needed.

No defined crux but the mental crux comes at/near 4th bolt where you have to compress with the right hand against the inside of the chimney. WATCH OUT FOR LOOSE EVERYTHING HERE.

Shares chain anchors on the pillar top with Deadbeat Dads (5.7).

Location

There are two routes on the short detached pillar about 50' to the right of the fallen pillar in the middle of Porcupine Alcove. The (climber's) rightmost one is Working Mothers. When climbing it, your back will be to the Sunshine Wall and talus field below you.

Protection

5 bolts and shared chain anchor
