Fat Hand 5.12a

4.9
(13)
A contender for best 5.12a at the ranch. Muscle through the crux start and enjoy the steepening, unblemished stone. The difficulty drastically eases after the bulge at two-thirds height. There has been talk of removing the first bolt, forcing climbers to stickclip the second. Regardless, stickclipping the second bolt is recommended. (7 PDs).
