Subject: Bark- Grappel - Snap
Rating: So hard that it can't be quantified
Quality: 2 1/2 stars
Location: Tram
Notes: uhh...
Leave it to Chris Lindner to put up lines where others would
never even think of climbing. This climb is bold, futuristic,
and will imbue upon you a fresh scent of pine for at least
the rest of the day. The moves involve some swinging around
and doing the tarzan scream as you pound out the crux bearhug
move. Unfortunately, there is an annoying rock leaning up
against the line that seems to get in the way near the crux
( i should mention that some question the
validity of Chris' ascent, as he appeared to take weight
off against the boulder at the crux).
The climb finishes high over jagged rocks with a sketchy
reverse-mantel. The top of the climb is about 23ft. tall
and appears to be getting taller. To get off the route,
downclimb Crack-Mantel-Sap.
