Proposed Route:

This is the second bolted route from the left on the southwest face of Der Zerkle — the long hueco'ed wall facing the Mallory Cave and also home to Hot if You're Not, What if You're Not, etc. Feeling Lucky starts down and right of the climb Bar None, described above. Climb a thin 5.9 section to a ledge. From here, fun jug hauling over a roof leads past the third bolt to a decision: head left directly up the bolt line on surprisingly good finger rails at 10- or head right on jugs that lower the difficulty. Five bolts total to a double-bolt anchor.
