Description
Another nice addition to the routes on the right end of the slabs. Can be done in one, long 70m pitch or broken up with a gearbelay, or a slight traverse left to belay off the pine tree on Beginners.Starts about 8-10 ft left of the silver birch tree at the start of Creepy Cowboy.Start up the slab looking for a lone bolt about 40-50 ft up(maybe 5.4),continue on to a low angle shelf with a horizontal at it's base(optional gear belay to split the pitch).Step right and climb the clean slab to a small flake on the right(gear)Step left and climb nice features to a small overlap(gear),pull over this to a bolt,clip this and friction up and right(5.6- 5.7, crux) to an awesome hand crack with great gear.Finish at the big pine tree!
Location
The climb starts about 20 ft right and slightly uphill of the start to beginners and about 10 ft left of the start of Creepy Cowboy. Look for a clean slab that leads to the hand crack that is directly below the big pine 70 meters up.
Protection
Standard rack of cams from fingers to a number 2,set of nuts,extendable slings and two bolts.you may want an extra .75 for the top if you used it lower on the route.Rappel once with 2 70 meter ropes from the big pine tree or twice with a 70 meter rope using Creepy Cowboy's first pitch tree anchor(tie knots!) If you only have a single 60m there’s a rap station on a higher tree about 20 ft above the Creepy Cowboy tree.
