Ain't No Hollenbeck Girl

FA Gwen Stefani, 2004

Description

Very enjoyable chimneying with one notable crux where it squeezes down. If your fingers need a rest from all the laser cracks on this boulder, this just might be the body jam you're lookin for.

The difficulty of the climb is governed by your upper body size. As for myself, I was forced to ooze down, remove my favorite flannel, and "sidewinder" up through it -- that is, by kicking the left leg in, and dropping an underhanded armbar on the edge of the crack. This allows one to rotate their chest further out as needed to push past the squeeze.

Location

Just to the right of Privateer, which tends to draw the eye. Because of this, Hollenbeck Girl seems to have languished in obscurity since Gwen's historic first ascent.

Protection

Tight-fitting clothing
