Description:
At right side of Cereal Buttress, 30 right and uphill of Frankenberry. Climb the obvious, newly excavated dihedral to a roof. Follow the crack around the right side of roof and then up to a tree. Rap from tree OR, climb up and slightly left to the Frankenberry anchors, OR, climb up to the right until under the large roof above. Climb up a short but fun crack then traverse left under the roof. This variation, "Obamanation Continuation" was put up by Shannon Millsaps and Sean Cobourn on December 6, 2009. Lots of trundling of loose blocks involved. Downclimb to Frankenberry anchors which are at the pine below you.

Feel like this is harder for a first lead than 5.8. Enjoyed it but blew off roof move then went back and jammed it to finish

Harder than it looks
Obamanation looks like a relatively easy climb from the ground. Once I got moving up the wall I realized how wrong that perception was. It is not a difficult route but it does take some figuring out along the way. The roof move was a bit intimidating and took commitment but definitely worth the push. It was such a fun route!

Glad I didn't try and onsight it. Roof move was quite spicy though very protectable.
