Named for Effinger Beer once brewed in "The Boo".   You will get some true jams, so rare at DL.

Weird moves up the face and wide crack lead to a big undercling and a huge move to a jug ledge, and then big moves on good holds, runout to the top.   

  #5 p173 Swartling (we took the liberty of naming it after a local beer...)

Cool route on the face to the right of the Effie.  Protectable by DL standards, but a heady lead.  Some really cool moves on this one.  Almost as good as the Effie IMO.

Thin moves on smaller holds, gets interesting the higher you go.  Committing moves to the top.   

  The Swartling guide briefly mentions two 5.4 routes on a slab below the Effie above the talus, which doesn't seem like it could be describing this one, leading us to believe this isn't in any guidebook.

Nice dihedral climbing and decent protection as well.  A couple moves felt pretty committing; overall a worthy climb right next to another classic.   

  The Swartling book briefly mentions two 5.4 climbs on a slab below The Effie formation -- this definitely is not on a slab and not 5.4 leading us to believe this isn't in any guidebook.
