Women's Work

Description

This is a classic sandbag. Climb slightly overhanging, thin fingers to hands up top. Start off the top of the obvious block in the corridor. The flare makes for good feet in the crack, all the edges on the outside just break away. The name is making fun of a couple of spraymasters who were sandbagged on the line and then laughed at because they couldn't even do women's work.

Location

As you approach EOTRR as per the description, you will see a slightly flared splitter finger crack facing you (on the west side of EOTRR), the bottom hidden behind another part of the formation. It has greenish yellow lichen prettying it up, a pod near the top, and a horizontal crack intersects the left side near the bottom. You have to scramble up some slabs and into a narrow gully to get to it. Starts off a wedged boulder in the gully.

Protection

#4 Zero through #2.5 Friend. You can also get a big hands or fist piece for the easy top section. There is a fixed nut at start and coldhuts up top.
