Access Issue: Stick Clipping Is Highly Recommended Details

While all routes have been thoughtfully bolted, many lines contain a high first bolt. So, the local ethic is to stick clip the first bolt, and eliminate ground falls.

Description

This popular TR goes up the huge hump in the wall. By placing a picnic table at the base of the climb, you can make the start easier. Begin at the bottom-right of the hump and climb up toward the center. Top out through vertical bucket climbing. According to the 1972 guide Sandstone Climber, "every inch of the Camels Hump has been climbed."
