used to be a favorite pre warm up warm up for me when at mickeys for many years. not as fun any more, it got old for me and it is a bit scary on the runout. ive seen at least two folks take the whipper on the run to the anchors - they were ok. you can also clip the last bolt on pelican but the stance isnt as good as the anchor clip so its sort of a toss up. imagine eric brand (big wall/mountain climber) putting it up on lead! we used to lead it on his rusty (1/4 / 5/16 inch?) spinners back in the day. its a lot less scary now with the new stainless ring/u-bolts. and yes pelican is a great bouldery face climb and worth doing as well. if some of you have never been to egg rock it also has a great 5.10 route "closed caption" that is a safer sport lead.

Slick and tricky footwork at the start, but at the first bolt, then reach two enormous rails, and begin scary thin section. Last bolt is quite a ways below anchors, and this section is more fun on top rope! Yikes! You can do it though! Trust those feet.....
