Nice Guys Finish Last

Area: Adit Rock

Route Description

Nice Guys Finish Last is one of those climbs that will leave you feeling like you've done something dirty. The route starts out fun and easy on good holds through straightforward moves. Life is good. Before long you will reach a flat ledge and quickly realize why this route isn't graded 5.5. A bulgy boulder problem with crap for feet stands in your way from clipping the chains and lowering. I'm sure there are a number of ways to get up and over the bulge by either using the face of the rock or getting into the off-width to your left. We opted for the non-graceful high-feet smear on the face of the bulge, humping the rock as we worked our feet up while cursing.

Grade it whatever you like.
