Description
Just barely left of
Hatchet Crack
is
Lizzie Borden
. It basically climbs the crack/groove system on the left as it angles to the rappel ledge of
Schoolroom
rappel. It starts the same as
Hatchet Crack
, and then diverges along a fun ramp. It is very tempting to clip a bolt or two from
The Rumba
as they are in your face. Climbing stays consistent through the bottom two-thirds. Fun crack and groove work with some face climbing thrown in. 2 warnings: Not a lead for a 5.9 leader, and don't pass up gear opp's on the consistent part (bottom 2/3's).
Protection
There are chains at the top (Schoolroom rappel), but gear is needed for the route. Pretty standard rack, but bring 1 large cam. The "Book" says a 4 inch. That didn't quite suffice. I shoulda brought a 5 inch, cause my 4" cam popped when my second fell below it. I was darn sure it wouldn't hold. Oh well. A couple of runners helped also.
