Character

The first climb opened on Mumbar. Three approach pitches lead to a steep pillar of clean granite; the top six pitches are fully bolted. Named for what the walk-in did to the team.

Gear

Single rack to BD #3 and 16 quickdraws. After pitch 3 no cams are needed — all bolted.

Needs two dry days. Pitch 1 is around 6c when dry and unclimbable when wet.
