Description

Better bring the big guns for the face melting, forearm bursting pump that this route packs!

Buffy is an alternate start to

Huffy

with more consistent and steeper climbing but slightly less difficult moves. The two routes meet at the midway crux of

Huffy

.

Start the same as

A Gentlehoe

for the first four bolts. At the good rest under the roof, bust right (first crux) with powerful lockoffs through good pockets to gain an ok rest at bolt #6. From here, pull into the midway crux of

Huffy

(second crux) to get the final rest at bolt #8 before the powerful and long ender crux of

Huffy

.

As for the grade, again I really have no clue. It seems to be just a bit more demanding than

Huffy

.

Location

Do the same start as

A Gentlehoe

, 20 feet left of

Huffy

up the prominent, blue, left-facing corner.

Protection

10 bolts plus chain anchors. Extended draws on bolts 2 through 7 help reduce rope drag and ease clipping.

A stick clip is highly recommended for the first bolt as the climbing is harder than it looks!

A left knee pad is useful but not necessary.
