Baron of the Bulge – 5.12c

Description:   (under review)

2 bolts of easy slab takes you to the overhang. Clip the chain and paddle big holds to the giga-jug rest on Beef Maiden. Clip out left from the jug and head for the shield.

Boulder to a big side-pull at the base of the bulge. Clip up and then begin your journey into baronhood. Several moves on okay holds gets you over the bulge to where the flowstone jugs start. No one would drop it up there.

Straighten your rope line by extending bolt 4 (the last bolt you clip on Beef Maiden) and bolt 9 (first bolt after the bulge).

Kick off to keep some swing when you're lowering - the anchor free hangs over the edge of the belay ledge.
