The Sting

FA Russ Clune, Dan McMillian and Russ Raffa, 1983
UPDATED BY DavidWeisberg 

Description

A New River Gorge climb. Or maybe the NRG is like the gunks? In any case, it's big moves between horizontals, with an all points off dyno at the top! Start stepping off the boulder to the left with a big dead point move once established on the face, and proceed to make your way up the wall with reachy moves, taking every opportunity to place when you can. Do the dyno or pull on small edges to reach the final ledge. Don't relax yet, as the moves to the chains are still non-trivial!

The Sting will stay dry during moderate drizzling in the spring.

Protection

Single 2-3, doubles .2-1, and a .1 protects the start well.
