Description
An absolutely brutal monster of a route.
This route is an openprxject, and if you snag the FA of this climb, the bolter asks that the name remains as is. Grade needs consensus of course, could be 13c, could be 14-
Start on a chossy face with 3 bolts that have black hangers and climb up to a series of tiered roofs where the climb gets real steep real fast. Span out the chossy roofs/shelves to a reachy, horizontal crux, then traverse left across the infamously-named "sand bar". Rest up and bust into the last section of the climb involving a rowdy dyno at the pinnacle of the cave. Madness. The last section of this climb is often wet :( In the same way that The Island was "ze last great probem in ze Forest", this may be the last great roof climb in Belton, if the choss ever cleans up. The Chossbuckler was bolted by ClaytoR himself
This climb has cruxes as fierce as those on Sky/Señor/Pentzatu, with all the pump and length of For Whom/Time/Being/Borrowed. A true monster. Some team kid may flash it one day, and we'll talk about it for years.
Location
right-center of the cave, left of The Sky by about 25 feet
Protection
9 or 10 bolts, first 3 don't have permadraws but the rest do
