The Flying Pig
Description
This route finds itself situated between the "East Arete" and "Arch Classic" on the East Wall. Begin with a left hand side pull crimp and right hand in one of the brick seams to your right. Move up utilizing some tricky thumb beta in the broken corner of the brick above you. Gain better feet and move the hands up to the poor brick edges higher. Lead yourself to the last brick on the half arch and a good seam/crack between the second to last arch brick and third to last out right. Top out above the last arch brick. This route is climbed with out using the arete at all, so hands off. Awesome problem! Only adding for others to enjoy this good climb. My friend and I just recently climbed the route and figured out all the beta for ourselves. We really enjoyed it! I just came up with a Cincinnati related name to share, but if this has been done before I am not aware of who did it or what it was called. I am not trying to steal any credit for this route so if you know of the original name and ascent please spray me down.
