The start of this route is really tricky...thus the name. If you can avoid pumping out in the first ten feet, the rest of the route is more reasonable.

Last Chance for Gas, AKA Tricky Start

Excavation, AKA The Crack

You probably need a static rope to set-up the TR off a tree at the top. Eventually bolted anchors will be installed.

There's a ledge in the middle that's a bit muddy. Approximately 30-lbs of dirt was removed from there to make it climbable, but it's really fun.

The start is mildly overhung and you have perhaps the pumpiest move of the climb near the bottom. The route does require a lot of stien pulls which makes it a lot of fun.
