Thumbs Up

Description

At a mere forty feet, half of which is approach climbing, this diminutive line packs a surprising punch. Scramble up the somewhat silly start, clipping three bolts, to obtain a large ledge. Grapple with the first crux before transitioning left to the arete for a few shakes. Fire for the chains through ever more desperate moves and be prepared as this one isn't over until the chains are at your waist.

The climbing on this route is unlike its neighbors. Deep horizontals punctuate thin edges. The start and first crux are a bit sharp but the movement is interesting and sustained.

Location

This route is located immediately right of Air Monsters. It is the rightmost line on North Fin proper and ascends Nancy's Thumb Tower.

Protection

6 bolts to ring anchors
