Return of the Degnoid – 5.12a (trad)

Description:

Another Manson and tribe classic. The name refers to the FAists eating scraps off tourists plates at Degnan’s Deli in Yosemite. First 5.12 in Ontario and the second in the country! (1977) Wild overhanging crack climbing. Probably one of the finest limestone trad climbs in the province and undoubtedly ahead of its time. Today it remains a test piece and is seldom done. It has earned the reputation of being a serious lead. Not to be taken lightly!

    Awesome tiered roof crack line with a fun crux section and some good varied climbing throughout. Cupped hand, tight hand, ringlock, fingerlock, jugs, crimps, mega kneebar- this thing has it all. Took some heavy cleaning back in the winter but it cleaned up pretty good. TR'd a few times wet in the spring and then sent first lead go.
