After a variety of hold breakages and more thorough cleaning, this climb is not what it once was… Begin matched on the lowest rail as a stand start. A variety of beta options will take you diagonally left to a grainy jug just over the lip. A short crimp sequence then leads to incredibly committing but relatively easy slab climbing. Despite the more realistic grade listed here, this is still a rite of passage, and gateway to the mega highballs of the Buttermilks. Exercise extreme caution.
11/27/24 Ground up. Had like 8 pads then people kept throwing more on. Right after the rain so zero chalk on the holds. Brought a brush and made good use of it
As for grade I don’t really care. It’s 4 star climbing down low on 2 star rock. But the slab is what I came for
