Description:
This route is the farthest right route on Chicken Wall, starting by 2 huge old industrial bolts. The climbing is rather forgettable with easy clips from good stances. Most of the good holds are hidden until you're right on top of them. I also found myself zig-zagging to the left and right of the bolt line to reach these holds. Beware the rope drag if you plan on setting up a top rope.

Better Climbs Elsewhere
So this climb is fun and all but there are better 5.9's elsewhere. Do it if everything else is crowded and taken, but otherwise go to something around the corner like Chicken Hawk.

Ouch my Knee
The climbing isn't hard but it's all over the place. I banged my knee into the wall trying to highstep. Swore like a sailor, but didn't fall, and finished the climb. Still it hurt and it's not even that great of a climb.
