Lounge Lizards Variation

A fun route with some strenuous moves and some of that I-really-don’t-want-to-fall-right-now feeling.

Climb to the third bolt on easy terrain then bear right into the steep corner. Clip the fourth bolt and the fun begins. Stem, crimp, hold on for dear life and clip the fifth bolt. Look up to the sixth bolt, decide there’s no way, then make a tenuous move to your right and the arete. Breath easier and continue up through the sixth bolt and to the anchors. Lower or rap back to the belay.

Since this is on the northeast of

George

it is in the shade in the afternoon. It was comfortable even on a 90 degree day.

Overall a fun route but the best part is quite short.

Get to

George’s

lowest, northeast belay (two hanger-and-ring anchors) via

George Direct

, the first pitch of

Lounge Lizards

, or by scrambling up some dicey terrain to the east. Follow the bolts up the “broken staircase”.

6 bolts, hanger-and-ring anchors at both start and end.
