This route is characterized by huecos. Some of the huecos are good, some are slopey. The crux is between bolts 5 & 6, where it's easier to step left of the 5th bolt than to go straight up. The sequence involves a left-hand ghaston, followed by a right hand-foot match. Otherwise, the climbing is fairly sustained throughout the route somewhere around 5.9 or 10a.

This route is the right of the two bolted lines on the upper section of the P-Funkamerika Dome.

It starts off climbing moderate Huecos to a ledge and then a distinct crux between bolts six and seven.

The most recent Mammoth guidebook lists this as having six protection bolts but there are in fact seven. The last one is hidden in the large Hueco a short distance from the anchor. Two open shuts, just below the top of the wall, serve as the anchor.

After you clip the anchor turn around and check out the massive raptor nest in the natural perch on the next formation over.

Hole in the Wall Gang climbs a line of scoops, Huecos and patina flakes past seven bolts to a three bolt anchor located in a giant scoop at the base of a water runnel. Crux for most will be the move to clip the chains unless you are tall enough to clip while standing in the last large scoop.

As of late May 2019 there is a seemingly unfinished line of bolts to the right of this route which leads towards the dark chimney and roof.

As the name implies, Sidewinder climbs a dike which snakes up the wall.

Start by mantling up onto a low angle slab and making your way towards the obvious dike and line of bolts. Follow the dike as it steepens to vertical and then to the right where it crosses over a water groove making another turn upward and leading to a three bolt anchor.

Hair Eraser is the first bolted line you will come to when approaching P-Funkamerika Dome.

This two pitch line begins up positive patina flakes, passes a small overlap and continues up slabby flakes to a three bolt ring anchor at a great stance. Passing the small overlap will be the crux for most. The current guide book lists five bolts on the first pitch but it appears two more have been added bringing the total to seven. First pitch measures approximately 80 feet.

The second pitch climbs up and left across the slab to gain positive holds then continues straight up over ever easier terrain to another three bolt ring anchor. Second pitch passes eight bolts and measures approximately 90 feet.

The two pitches can easily be linked into one using a 60m rope and some long draws.

Descend by rappelling twice with a 60m rope.

This short but quality route follows a subtle dike which angles to the right.

The first of the five protection bolts can easily be clipped from the ground. The three bolt anchor can be seen from the ground.

This route can be used to set up a top rope on The Bunghole to the right.
