Description

Great fun route with lots of thought-provoking moves. Named for the most decorated US Marine in history. Make a tricky move up onto the ledge and through the left-rising overhang (bolt), then up the face to good stance below another small overhang. A difficult move getting over this (bolt) to reach a short, right-rising handhold (bolt) and a wild lunge to get over the bulge above. The climbing settles down after this, joining the right-rising crack of The Slash.

Location

12m below the obvious right-rising crack of The Slash, at a waist-high slab with a small niche on top and an overhang at chest height. This is about 2m left of the start of Crazy Lace

Protection

Full set of cams to 3", quickdraws. There are 4 bolts along the way, which protect the hardest climbing.
