Not the greatest rock at the crag but stellar moves. Fun steep jugs lead into a hard boulder problem, probably V6, then throw a really big dyno just before the anchors.

I Fly

The Moisturizer

Grain Tamer

Tension Tamer

Like most routes at the Bear Crag, The Moisturizer climbs through some less than desirable rock at it's start. The crux comes at the third and last roof just below the final left facing dihedral. This was originally an old Mike Cann project. It was abandoned some twenty years ago and had only a single bolt.

Starting just right of Tension Tamer, climb up and slightly rightward over several overlaps to a short slab finish.  Very loose and chossy all the way to the slab finish, which has 20 feet of good rock.  If it ever eventually cleans up, it will surely have no holds left.

This is one of the steeper outings in the Eastern Sierra's, and is an area classic.  No move is harder than ~V2, but how many V2's can you do in a row?

The best pure endurance testpiece in Mammoth.
