Ambush

FA Jay Klinghorn, aid, prior to or during the mid-'90s. FFA: Richard Wright, Anna Brandenburg-Schroeder, 2001

Description

Ambush runs up a black water streak and groove. The crux is passing the second bolt after which the climbing settles down for some fun chimney work for 20 feet or so. There are some avoidable blocks higher up, but taking them off without hitting the road is dubious and they are best just avoided. The horn that constitutes the main target for the crux move, is starting to come loose and will be glued in place in the near future; for now, don't pull too hard on it.

The first redpoint of Ambush fell to the consumate Bernard [Gillett].

Protection

QDs only. This 60 foot route needs 8 draws and something for the double bolt anchor at the top.
