Working For Tips (5c E3)

The line starts right of “Better to…”.  the first 20 feet are some of the most safe/climbable and AWKWARD moves you will do at Index.  Try not to laugh at your partner as you’ll be in the same spot soon.

Move to the far right of the ledge and into the pod.  Grab the Monkey Bar rail then move up and right to an almost Hands-Free-Ledge.  Start Working For Tips until the climbing eases.

As with all the lines on this cliff, most climbers will be happiest doing a TR preview/Headpoint to at least learn the best protection placements.  If You try an On-Sight, You’ll complain about how it’s a sandbagged climb… Nobody wants to hear your complaints.

Lead climbs are best belayed from the ledge.
