Description

One of the very finest climbs of the grade at Lumpy. Steep, strenuous, and solid. Climb the first pitch of

Howling at the Wind

, or do

El Camino Real

and belay at the coldshuts. Now climb straight up (5.10a) to a bulge with twin thin cracks (fixed pin, 5.11c), and take the left crack past some strenuous underclinging (5.11a) and easier rock to the belay. Climb either of two left-facing corners above, then exit at the Cave. The gear is good but strenuous to place. Excellent route.
