Description:
Many consider this the "beginning" of the Oswald wall. Just before, and leading down to the main portion of the Oswald Wall there is a slope with 3 climbs. (not to be confused with the pervious area having Jeff's Bunny Hop, Sniff the Drill and That 8). At the well worn rest spot on the slope, there are two crowded bolt lines, Fabulous Groupies is the line on the Left, starting behind a tree. Thin start to big ledge and vertical face.

Second ascent by:
Very cool for the grade
But watch out for the ledge. This was my first 9 lead attempt but I backed off as soon as I got above the second bolt and realized the possible ledge potential. Great climb for the grade but definitely not for a new leader...

Lakeside fun
My first sport lead in a few months recovering from tendonitis in my left arm. Not a bad route to start the weekend on.
