Fauxpology

FA Unknown
CREATED

Description

Fauxpology starts on a lowish left hand crimp rail and an obvious and dry-fiery sidepull. Use smears or credit card feet to establish control and figure out the puzzle to access either the razor blade crimps or stuff up higher. Stay off the left arete and wall for the V2 or use it for a V1. Fun moves if you commit to the face climbing or a good warmup with a stronger start than most warmups if you take the easy way. 

Location

Park at the Mt Scott Gate and stand on your bumper or get vantage from being a little west of the gate. Look uphill and to the right of Zoo Wall 9-3/4 and the talus runway that separates Mount Scott’s Boy from Mount Scott. Inline with the west slope of mount scott below the saddle connecting it to Mount Scott’s Boy you should see an outcropping with obvious vertical cracks.Walk uphill on the road a few minutes until a oak forested hill above you and turn north uphill. Meander northward toward the boulder outcropping. Cracktus Minicrag is along the right eastward side of this main outcropping but there are some problems to the west and on the approach too.Basically the direction of the road from the gate pointing uphill before it turns right is a direct line toward Cracktus Minicrag but it is occluded by the hill and trees. If you stay in the clearings then approach is clear and easy.

Protection

1 pad is good. For experienced cats no pad would work with grassy landing.
