THis is Bill Saul firing through a tradical little face climb at bozoo. THis route is downstream of Tastes Like Chicken about 50' on a short bullet proof orange wall. Check out the 2 yellow TCUs he has placed. THis route took at least 1 more and many other small size cams. THe rope next to him is on Pumkin, also 11a

Leading New Yo on a fine early spring day. This is one of the easiest 5.9's in the gorge - if you know how to jam...
