Description:

One of the best routes at Mickey's. Combines the lower part of Gidget with the awesome top-part of Motion. Mostly big moves to big holds, with some very technical footwork--with a stiff, bewildering bouldering crux at top. Clip the first 2 widely-spaced u-bolts on Gidget, then clip the new titanium glue-in after going over the bulge. Traverse out left, then lieback the rail to the big block under the roof. Clip this 4th bolt, then continue up and right to the 5th bolt (U-bolt) It is easy to clip the wrong bolts while doing this route (bad rope drag), so heads up.
