Description
I think this would clean up to be a splitter route, but I would describe the current state as a bit 'Desert AF.' I hope more folks climb it which will make it better. There is some loose and low-quality rock, mostly to the left of the splitter, and (as of spring 2021), no chalk but plenty of sand on the route. Belayer needs a helmet, and best not to stand directly under the climber. This route is an enjoyable journey through face climbing, #3 splitter, pods, and a short handcrack to end the saga! Protects well throughout. It's fun and full-value. Do it!!
It's hard to see the anchors from the ground, but they are right above and to the right of the second pod. Metolius rap bolts. You will use the full 80m - knot the ends!
Location
About 10 feet to the right of 'The Hollowing' in a corner. Look for a splitter on the right wall of the corner with a couple large pods that arcs back to the corner after the pods. #13 in the Creek Freak book.
Protection
Singles .1, .2, doubles .3 - 2, 5+ 3, 4 optional.
