Prozac Nation

FA Tony Bubb, 1995

Description

Maybe a destination route if fright is your game. This route was not followed on the FA- I rapped down it and that was that.

This route name was derived from a review of the Album 'Our Time In Eden' by 10,000 Maniacs. The reviewer commented on it's almost suicidal depression and referred to it as "The Theme ALbum for a Prozac Nation." Although I like the Album, the review stuck with me.

The climb was a little silly to have done ground-up, no preview, no cleaning and no gear to speak of. Perhaps a failed suicide attempt, but I recall fear more than depression.

Climb up the seam until it ends, making use of small edges and slopers, to the top of the wall. Rap from a tree or from fixed webbing above one of the more traveled climbs nearby.

The difficulty grade is questionable.

Location

Left of She Loves me (a left-facing dihedral) and right of Lust At First Sight (a crack behind a tree) there is a thin seam that ends before reaching the top of the wall.

Protection

Not much, not for me anyway. Nothing that would hold a fall was placed on the FA. Perhaps some camhooks or some offset nuts could work.
