Bighorn

Description

Bighorn is a bit of a squeezed route, but it seemed to climb independently of the routes on either side.

Pull the initial bulge (about 11a?). Then find fairly easy climbing to about the 3rd or 4th bolt. Move left a few moves when the route seems to join

Velcro Glove

. Finish with sustained crimping and sidepulling to the anchor. There are two crux sections with interesting and fun moves. It looks blank above as you're climbing, but keep moving, and holds will appear.

Location

This is between

Velcro Glove

and

Buggery

on the left side of Mutton Wall.

Protection

About 10 bolts, this has lowering carabiners at the anchor.
