Description:

Starts right of Crackin' Up in the central wall of the Amphitheater. Climb the face past widely-spaced bolts to anchors below the roof. Like Crackin' Up, this route takes time to dry after a rain.

5 out of 5 stars be brave

its another great climb just beware most will agree that it could use atless 1 more bolt on the way up going from bolt 3 to the anchor can be a little nerve racking

2 out of 5 stars Saw a wild turkey on the drive out

Did this at some point before but never recorded it.

Pretty decent climb although the distance between the first and second bolt is enough to deck. Thankfully there is a good sized ledge that makes the second clip pretty easy - just don't screw up. You might land on a dead tree or a large cube shaped boulder. The crux seems to be between bolts 2 and 3. It's mostly about balance not strength...

4 out of 5 stars Good Slab Climb

This is great practice for very balancy slab-climbing technique. Can't imagine how scary slab climbing at stone mountain must be where the bolts are 30+ feet apart!

4 out of 5 stars Interesting Route!

This was my first sport lead, definitely made me think. Wasn't hard, just different. Lots of slopers!
