Description:
Just R of MH, a line of old hangers ascends a steep face, splitting after the second bolt to go left and right. VI #1 is the left route. Climb up and to the L after the second bolt, either traversing just under the second roof or pulling the harder moves from below to gain the end of that traverse. Move L out from under another small roof and up to gain the top anchors. VI#2- continue on the roiginal line, moving up and R to gain steeper ground and the anchors. The Van Idle routes existed when most of the lines at Franklin were just ideas. The fact that the Falcon Press poseur has named them after a gas station that wasn't built until the late 90s and a wrestler who went out of commission about the same time speaks volumes about his intelligence.Descent Options:
Lower/rap from anchors.
