Horndogger, 5.8+ [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Horndogger, 5.8+
1st Pitch- 200’- 5.8+/ The climbing topo at Supertopo.com can be tough to follow on its own. It shows climbing straight up the wall to the left of the Friar between a crack on the left and a chimney that runs up the side of the Friar. However, I advise using the crack to the left to place protection as you climb just to the right of a significant roof. Once you get to the roof, traverse right onto a ledge. Make sure to use double ropes technique and run one rope up the crack with a double runner used before the traverse. To avoid immense rope drag, if you are bringing two climbers up, I advise that one climb the face so you do not have to direct your 2nd rope. Move right a considerable distance, but not into the chimney behind the Friar. At a tree, go ahead and jump up to the suspect white rock above with no protection in sight. As you climb on run out ground, continue moving left and you will follow into a groove full of huecos and thus pockets in which you can place cams. Large gear would be preferable here including a #5 camelot. Continue until you reach the end of your 60m ropes and build a station in large huecos with a small stance.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
