Poodle With a Bowlcut

FA October, 2020
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

This route is a more moderate variation of Poodle With a Mohawk.  Start up the finger crack until you reach the mini-roof. Instead of the hardman face-climb, reach around the arete to the right and pull yourself up onto the ledge.  Once on the ledge, there is a bolt to protect the move back up and onto the face, where you rejoin the crack.  Jam up the gradually widening fissure--anchors are just right of the crack, under the tree.  As an onsight this feels closer to 5.10a, but do it a couple times or get some more beta and it feels 5.9 . . . 

Location

The right of the two obvious cracks on the pinnacle, though this variation steps right around the arete and onto the ledge before continuing up.  

Protection

Gear to 3" with one bolt. Anchors and chains installed Oct. 2020, visible from the ground.
