Nut n’ Homo

Coined in NC select as one of the longest routes at Rumbling Bald. Nut n Homo is an older line with a dangerous first pitch and a grimy crux. Pitch 1 starts left of a tree that has fallen against the wall. Climb up the slab onto a ledge. Surmount the small bulge and aim for the first bolt. Careful as the feet in this are exfoliating and a slip would result in a back breaking fall onto the tree and then the ground. Climb to another bolt and then angle left a a wide crack. Build a belay somewhere comfy under the roof 5.8 R

Pitch 2 make a mellow traverse left under the roof eventually pulling onto the face and continuing left. Pass by the anchor station and keep going until you make it to a huge spacious and comfy ledge under the crack system 5.8

Pitch 3 climb the weird arching wife crack which is a little dirty as this thing doesn’t get any traffic. Make off balance moves to where there is a blank section in the crack. Negotiate your way through this past the tiny dead tree/sapling/bush thing. Follow the crack and then cut back right to a ledge where you can build a belay. 5.10

Pitch 4 climb up pockets and pinches to the summit 5.9

Rap back down the stations you passed on the way up

Pitch one starts left of the tree lying up against the wall which is left of the corner for Snap Crackle Pop

What ever your standard Carolina rack is. Nothing special. One 3 and one 3.5 or similar
