Diminished Gluteal Syndrome

Description

This is a good endurance climb, similar in style and difficulty to Easy Rider. Start as for Last Rites, but head straight up at the second bolt (Last Rites breaks to the right) A couple bolts of moderate vertical climbing put you at the base of the overhang. From there, sprint up the sustained head wall, aiming for the first big hueco for a sit-down rest. From here the climb is more broken up with little boulder problems separated by sit-down rests.

This difficulty of this route is somewhat butt-dependent. It is significantly harder for those with Diminished Gluteal Syndrome, as they will be unable to fully exploit the multiple sit-down rests.

Location

Shares the start with Last Rites on the left side of the big amphitheater. It is the next route right of Foaming at the Mouth.

Protection

14 bolts. You'll have to hang a few of your own draws on the lower slab but it's all permadraws once you get into the head wall.
