Stump in the Rump

Well, I guess I better give this route its just deserts before some dink from Colorado gives it the bomb.

This route is not the prettiest gal at the dance, but she does put out. Starts on some ugly holds just to the right of Star Fighter and Millennium Falcon. The holds are big and dirty, however, for those climbers, who are not detracted by the messy stuff that the great outdoors throws at ya, the challenge might just add to the fun. Climb past a grassy ledge on your right, tip-toe past the stump, pucker up that anal sphincter, and enjoy some really sick, honkin,' juggy-ass holds on an arete up to the majestic finish. When the rock gets good, the climbing gets great. Two or three stars depending upon your level of expertise and connoisseurness.

Often climbed by locals who are too pooped to fart their way up the harder routes, this climb usually gets overlooked, but is worth doing if you want a challenge for the grade.
