Run Home To Mommy

The crux of this 8-bolt climb (bolt 6) requires serious study in granite face climbing technique. The rock is bulletproof granite of the finest grade. Once the crux sequence is unlocked, it is really fun. Until that time, it can seem "not fun". Be sure to get good conditions (afternoon shade).

This well protected route climbs the obvious steep face of the Gum Drop formation, which sits up and left from the base of The Toe. Scramble the final 15 feet of approach to the left to gain the ledge at the base of Gum Drop. Two routes on the right side of the Gum Drop share the same start. The one that branches left is Run Home To Mommy, the Right hand split is Call Her Daddy. They share the same 2 bolts, then split for 6 more bolts each, but share the same top bolt anchor.
