Family Values Epoxyless

FA Kevin Valenzuela
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

The starting RH crimp and left foot ledge, upon close inspection, are covered in epoxy; they were once broken off, but were thankfully repaired. But what if they weren't? This route is the eliminate of those epoxied holds: climb the same line, but without using those two holds for hands or feet. Both the footwork and the finger strength must be kicked up a notch to send this contrived but fun eliminate. Otherwise, the same old Family Values... but most of the first half's beta must be re-worked, so much that it's deserving of its own route. It is further worth noting that the top jugs, normally off for Family Values, are now on.

Location

LH on the same starting crimp, RH anywhere that isn't matched with the LH or on the epoxied hold.

Protection

Pad recommended for the second half, which drifts over a large rock.
