Description
"Wild Thing" ascends a vertical face to a right facing corner ledge. End the route by pulling a lip onto the gray, sharp variety of limestone.
Unfortunately this route proved too wild for me. I aided through the blank face crux and even on top rope could not decipher a sequence; a sequence I may have made more difficult by ripping off a possibly key hold. A final kick in the nuts was delivered with a headpoint finish that proved too mentally taxing for my delicate sensibilities. After a shrill scream and a nice fall, I left a bail biner and my dignity on this line.
Despite leaving with my tail between my legs, I continue to marinate on this route and would like to return to it at some point.
Location
Located near the "Celebrity Cave", "Wild Thing" is the fifth route from the left and begins just in front of a large Whitethorn Acacia.
Protection
Bolts. Leaver biners for anchors.
