Description

Start the same as Overhangatang Left (listed here). Direct finish to the top.  Does not connect with Overhangatang route.

This route's name is a tribute to Murray Gell-Mann, who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1969. Among Gell-Mann's contributions was the “eightfold way” idea that came about by the discovery of some 100 kinds of particles in collisions involving atomic nuclei. Gell-Mann subsequently found that all of those particles, including the neutron and proton, are composed of fundamental building blocks that he named “quarks".
