A tricky start off the ground leads into pleasant slab edging and big handholds.

Funky Buddha

Misty and Dale's Excellent Adventure

Voice of the Voiceless offers a satisfying capstone to Rage Against the Janine. After climbing Janine's pleasant slab, Voiceless launches up steep jugs to the top of the headwall. Powerful movement on great (though sharp holds) will earn you a nice view of McClinery Ridge.

Fun, straightforward slab climbing leads up to a series of sidepulling flakes. Sustained, slightly overhung climbing on these positive incuts gets you to the anchors.

The wall's titular route, Funky Buddha tackles the center of the vertical headwall past Buddha's bellybutton (the large, round hueco just above the slab). Smear your way up some waterpolished divots to a rest in the hueco. From there, edge, smear, and sidepull your way up some of Riggins' best limestone edges. Expect to feel a little air between your knees above the bolts. Thought-provoking and a bit pumpy.

Climb through the first few easy bolts and crank through a short, steep section of climbing on positive edges. Pull onto the ledge above the crux section, shake out, and relax for the next couple bolts. On the headwall, the climbing thins out for a technical pump crux just below the anchor.
