All Battered Boyfriends

The name was derived from a series of mishaps during the FA. Adam's (Allison's boyfriend) eyelid was punctured by a branch during the approach and Kevin was inadvertently hit in the groin while the rope was being managed (a tight belay ledge). Allison alone remained unscathed.

RAMP WALL AREA on Mt. Haystack:

The Ramp Wall was named during the FA of All Battered Boyfriends and Less Than Zero for its obvious left rising ramp. The wall sits directly across from Marcy’s Panther Den Wall; approach as in the Panther Den Wall then bushwhack across drainage to the Ramp Wall.

Start 30 feet left of lower right end of ramp.
