Overview

Ball and Chain is a great route with steep and challenging climbing. The climbing is both free and aid, with the smallest crack being a knifeblade size, to the largest being a #6 BD Camalot.

Really fun to relax from the crowds of Prodical Son

Route Description

The overhanging crack system in the dark cleft to the right of Prodical Son. Good route

Essential Gear

Cams from the smallest to the Largest BD. Camalot. Ballnuts would be really great. Tons of stoppers. A Big Bro would be great also. Sawed Off #3 angle pitons, regular #2 angles, knifeblades, and lost arrows. This route has been done clean at C3+, but we found many placements to be blown out and nearly useless. We were able to nail above or below the blown placements and enjoy "fresh tracks"
