Notes: serious oldschool

If you're into the oldschool climbing thing, then this climb may be of interest to you! If you're a gym climber, then be afraid...very afraid. Picture climbing a 20ft. slab with a thin sidepull seam and nary a single foothold to be found. Translation: desperate, insecure, unrelenting, and almost impossible to reverse the moves. Even the top has a sketchy mantel. Oh, and I forgot to mention the grainy, lichen covered rock. Thank Rob Mulligan for this fearfest.

The problem starts with awkward moves to gain the slab. Continue with insecure barndoor moves for about 20ft. or so to cruxy moves near the top. Paw the sloping top and mantel like your life depends on it.
