Description:

Start right of Headjam. Climb corner shared w/Blue Chock then up and right to the bolt. Finesse the crux and head up and left (exiting in a corner just right of Blue chock finish) for full value or out right onto Washboard for the easy finish. A run out, direct start begins to the right, avoids rope drag, and heads directly to the bolt.

4 out of 5 stars very nice route

pretty good for 5.9. the pro is fine for the grade, bring a micro and you can protect the (one) committing move to the bolt.

4 out of 5 stars scary

Another finely bolted Moore's Wall route....NOT!!! The route is scarier than the Zoo View traverse. I just looked down the barrel of a 30ft ground fall.

4 out of 5 stars Direct start to Washboard finish

I don't care for the "real" finishes, but direct start to Washboard (arete) finish is a nice combo. Might be 10a some places. ;)

4 out of 5 stars did with Washboard finish

with Washboard finish. Unless you runout the bottom, it is good to split the climb up into two pitches or face very bad rope drag. Can either belay at fixed tricam where Blue Chock and Too Much Fun split, or stop after the crux after the bolt. A couple of thin moves required to get to the bolt, and the gear is not great, but the climb is pretty fun.
