Social Security Ran Out

Start in an obvious crack system on a boulder. Continue to follow this crack system for the duration of the route, though the crack peters out in several locations. When the large ledge is attained below the offwidth exit, there are a number of ways to finish the route, and a belay could be plugged here if rope drag is too high. The climbing is easy for the beginning of the route and gets harder in proportion to the poor quality of gear. Supposedly the crux is the offwidth exit (5.8), but if you are not a confident slab climber...do not attempt this route.

V1 A variation of this route finishes on the neighboring route Reverse ? Mark (5.7R). Move into this route by following the overhanging bulge/crack halfway up Social Security Ran Out to the right, instead of continuing up.

This route starts just right of

on a small boulder.

Standard rack, lots of slings, and some micro nuts.
