Project Overkill

Description

Project Overkill is an endurance route that climbs the wildly overhung orange and white swirled wall.

Boulder up onto the small ledge directly into the spine of the Cookbook and follow the crack system to its high point at a horizontal crack. Large holds out right traverse through the belly of the orange wall. Follow big moves straight up through the obvious seam to the red-point crux.

Some of the holds in the center of the route can be grity and might need brushing before a serious burn.

To belay, clip a long tail end of the rope to the repel station (same as for Fight Club).

Do not clean this route by lowering from the anchors and pulling off the draws on the way down. Your rope will likely be damaged as it drags across the rock and away from the bolt line.

Clean on top rope, then rappel or get lowered off the anchors.

Location

This is the farthest route to the right in the Upper Cookbook and starts in the corner where the two walls converge.

Protection

Sport; but at least 4-5 quickdraws in the middle of the climb need to be 12- 14" long (webbing measurement w/o biners) for the rope to run straight.
