Bun in the Oven

Bun in the Oven has thin seam climbing on bullet granite! Technical, yet enjoyable, laybacking and finger locking up the seam leads to a down pulling edge at the 6th bolt. With steady feet, you can manage a quick shake before maneuvering through a harder-than-it-looks crux getting past the last bolt and gaining good holds before mantling over and joining

Temptation Arete

at its 10th bolt.

The name

Bun in the Oven

comes from the fact that Laura was 4 months pregnant when we developed it. She still managed to send it on toprope with the extra baby weight! Incredible!

This is a left-start variation to

Temptation Arete

. Climb the thin seam to the left of

Temptation Arete

, and meet up with

Temptation...

after manteling over the ledge. Bun in the Oven has 7 bolts, then meets up with

Temptation...

at its 10th bolt.

19 bolts + an anchor.
