Too Proud to Gary

Too Proud to Gary

is a short but powerful variation to

Too Proud to Boast,

5.9. While the top remains the same, the new beginning promises to be technical yet powerful. Start around the arête from

Too Proud to Boast.

Pull off the ground on a chest high slopey crimp with a slight slant (don’t cheat and stand on the rocks near the route). Climb straight up through some powerful moves until you reach the ledge on the arête and this is where you link up with

Too Proud to Boast.

Finish up the easy top to the chains. This line is not bolted yet so you will need to set up a TR on the chains for

Too Proud to Boast.

This route may be more of a 5.11d on top rope but if someone chooses to bolt it, it could easily be soft 5.12.

In the Upper Gorge, in the Dihedral area. Located between

Too Proud to Ignore

and

Too Proud to Boast.

To set up a TR, warm up on

Too Proud to Boast

5.9 and set up a TR on the chains.
