[The Sissy, 4 kb]14m. Typical of Rubicon; short, hard and becoming harder as bits drop off. The difficulties are confined to the steep middle section where a powerful rock-over is required. There is a lower-off just below the final bulge. © ROCKFAX
FA. Chris Plant 1989. Named after Ben Moon's comment on routes which require footwork.

Jumped on and felt hard to me! The crimps in the middle section are small and sharp - shredder!! Will go back to try ...
