Heather's Rear End
Description
Nice easy trad lead. A good one for beginning trad leaders or as an easy warm-up. Plenty of pro opportunities. Starts at a set of double cracks, up-hill and to the left of Keelin's Dilemma/Delight. (Between climbs 3 & 4 in the Love Gap Guide booklet). Follows discontinuous cracks up and then left along a balancey ramp to a final short crack. Then up over the edge and back right over easy terrain to the bolted anchors above Keelin’s Dilemma/Delight. It was quite dirty and overgrown when we started cleaning it Fall,'19, Finally got round to leading it Fall, '20. Since I have no history of this climb we took the liberty of naming it “Heather’s Rear End" since while cleaning it, Doug received a phone call from his wife saying that she had been rear-ended in a car accident. I’m sure other’s have done this line in the past, but since I have no written or verbal knowledge of it, I’ll list it as the FDA (First Documented Ascent! :-)
