Description

"You're going to climb that?!"

Ethiopian Kid

is

Narcolepsy's

orphan, the "elephant in the room" or crag as it were... Climb the obvious broken or destroyed looking crack up the left side of the buttress. A low crux allows for you to recover just in time to get freaked out again by the integrity of the line's upper section. Sustained climbing from the roof through the upper crack, physical relief will come after the crack turns into shattered munge. A fun but short line that is impaired by it's deteriorating quality. A mandatory send for the crag tick.

Location

The obvious finger sized crack through a roof, this route is directly left of

Up a Cliff Without a Ladder

.

Protection

Small to medium gear for the crack, draws, runners, and a cordelette. Build an anchor at the top with medium to large sized gear.
