8. Toot Route **

Toot Route

Difficulty: 5.7 + R

Protection: PG 13+

Description: Start on the left edge of the pit. Climb the face on intricate finger holds straight up through a small overhang, staying about 12ft. right of CENTER CRACK. Continue climbing straight up through the face past various horizontal cracks to the anchors.

The gear is good but far apart. Don't fall!

First Ascent: Carl Wallescheck in the early 80's. He used double ropes and protected by traversing back and forth to place in either CENTER CRACK or off to the right.

Isa Oehry and Nick Goldsmith decided to both lead this traditional 'top rope' on 05-08-02 by staying on its natural line without traversing and by placing a tiny stopper for 'mental health' at the notorious start of the climb. Fun!
