Country Rhoads

Country Rhoads starts out on the far right side of The Little Three Finger Jack formation. Start out by mantling up on a small formation set below a roof. Work through the roof sequence and climb through the next 3 bolts on good holds. From a good rest, work into the first crux of the route slapping your way up around a slopey bulge with the sequence ending with a crossing throw to a jug; true hero climbing! (A new sequence has been worked out foregoing the big cross.) Climb past the bulge through a cruxy face section and link into the huge flake/crack system above. The third and final crux is pulling the roof crack before the anchors.(There is a huge block chocked under the massive flake above covered with “X’s”. Do not climb on this block! It’s easily avoidable and does not affect the route.)Country roads, take me homeTo the place, I belongWest Virginia, mountain mamaTake me home...
