Currently this is the only bolted line at the Bumbling Stock. Start in the center of the crag at a right-facing flake. A midway optional belay anchor reduces the drag. Otherwise, bring a few longer draws and a 60m or 70m rope.

Lieback the flake, mantle onto a ramp. Steep slab smears to a cruxy arete move (10+ish). Easier climbing leads you to a right-leaning undercling corner (2nd crux) and over a small roof. Finish on steep headwall, with a last tricky highstep crux at the last bolt. The anchors are set back on a nice ledge.

Lower 105' to ground. A 60m rope barely makes it.

The start is a little sketchy as far as loose rock and gear placement. The OW has good gear, a 4 and 5 fit perfectly. There’s a secret hold at the start of the crux. Climb to the top, and build your own anchor. There’s finger locks, hand jam, fists, and a nice armbar. This is short but full of OW skills.

Low angled 5.7-5.8 climbing with inobvious pro leads to a stance (optional two-bolt belay of the

). Slightly overhanging wide fists and stacks for 20 feet (#3.5 -#4.5 Camalot). Higher up, it eases off considerably, with some jugs and face holds, and small pro options inside the crack. Hell, you could sling a chockstone for complete trad style. Finish at the anchors of the
