攀登 in Parking Area Wall by Michael Gray

This AIN'T Fat Boys Pork Palace. That name was given to another route over a decade before this line was climbed by anyone on this site, at least one of whom whoud know better. The line was dubbed "Franklin Traditions" by the guy who installed the anchor; yours truly. No FA info is available, but the founders of this crag (John Burcham, Eric Anderson, Ed Begoon, Mike Artz, George Powell, etc) had no knowledge of the routes existance or any personal ascents on the line.

Who decided this route was called "Fat Boy's"? Ed Begoon and Mike Artz put up a route named Fat Boys several decades ago, and this is NOT it. If you don't know the name, DON'T make one up... you only reveal your ignorance regarding local climbing history.

A sweet variation start, albeit an occasionally green one. Hope the starting block never collapses... that would raise the grade at least to 10+. Another Mike Fisher classic!

Mega-classic. climbed this as a much younger climber who worked as a concrete finisher and jackhammer operator. Tricky, balancey crux and incredible moves.
