Scramble up the easy beginning before making it to the obvious crack. Lay back to the left and watch out for hollow rock in the crack. There is an exposed tree root crossing the top of the crack. From the ledge above the root, climb on top of a small block and work your way up the ramp to the left.

This route was originally a top rope listing by Kristin Waldkoenig in 2017. Since then it has become the second bolted route here at Donation and designed for the beginner sport climber. Bolts are many and close. Clipping stances are solid and accommodate shorter climbers. A great route to experience and gain confidence in sport climbing!The crux is getting up and over the slab next to the bigger of the two trees growing right out of the rock - between bolts five and six. Use the tree’s trunk at first if needed but aim to not use it eventually. Don’t go too far right on the slab though as it becomes much harder. Stay as direct as possible.

First crux is getting over the low bulge. Second crux is on the face, balancing with a shallow undercling. Corner is not on.

Not sure how this wall got its name - hopefully as I dig into Donation's history, I'll find out. What I do know is, it's been climbed by beginners to experienced climbers for a long, long time. Like the rest of Donation, top rope was the only game in town, but now Triceps features a fun 5.6 sport route designed for the beginner sport climber up somewhat of the gully to the left of it's main wall. All of Triceps can be top roped, and there’s even opportunities for trad gear placement making this wall very versatile and fun.
