The Bulge

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

From the hole five feet up climb straight up over the bulge above on face holds without using either the flange formed by Friction Layback to your right or the crack angling up to the left which divides the Bulge from Nubbin Face to your left. Challenging high steps on little crimpers and nubbles.

The crack angling up to the left from the hole is called 'Bulging Crack' (5.6), and makes a good escape or easier line of ascent worthwhile on its own terms.

Location

Same start as Friction Layback just to the right of Incipient Crack.

Protection
