MapWhale If Yer Scared (Ahab Direct)
Description
Directly underneath the main "Whale if Yer Scared" line, the direct start is significantly harder than the main route and ascends the relatively clean low arete/prow of Motown.
Pull a long bouldery sequence that includes some slapping around on a blunt arete, muttering under your breath about the poor feet, and a strong undercling before pulling onto the slab, wiping your brow, and finishing out the route.
Location
Directly underneath the main line of "Whale if Yer Scared"; a 3-bolt line that merges into the main "Whale if Yer Scared" boltline on the slab above.
Protection
13 bolts to ram horns. Expect a lot of rock falling down, helmets strongly recommended for belayers.
