Description

A neglected and delicate corner with dirty, dirty tendencies, this is easily the worst gear route at

Hellgate

.

Start up some solid rock on big edges working your way into the corner, the crux comes about half-way up as the dihedral steepens and the holds and feet disappear. A few more "heads up" moves lead into an awkward traverse, left and under a block. Join the upper crack sectin of

Fryable

. The route stops at a two bolt anchor.

Not a terrible route, the gear is good, the movement is funky, and its all there. I'd just say it favors a more specific crowd...like ones who like dirt in their eyes.

Location

The

Falcon Corner

begins right of

Fryable

and is the obvious, large, dihedral feature just inside the gully between

Tower 1 & 2

.

Protection

A single set of cams and stoppers, a bunch of slings and a few long draws.

maybe safety goggles?
