Description:

Begin 10-15' right of "Makin' Bacon". Begins as slab. Follow the line of 5 bolts up the thinning face to a bouldery pocket section. Enjoy surprisingly good holds on the overhanging finish.

4 out of 5 stars warmup

Mixed up this route with Mid-life crisis. This one has a key tag with a fisherman at the chains. The consensus grade in the redriverclimbing guidebook is 5.11d. If the 3rd edition of Ray's guide makes it such, I'll gladly change the grade here.
