BETA PHOTO: A.C. Devil Dog with bolts as viewed from above the...
Description
Rawhide is the most obvious finger crack left of AC Devil Dog on the lower portion of the Grotto's main wall. It is a fun and difficult route with a distinct crux section near the middle of the route.
Stemming right decreases the difficulty.
In the photo below, Rawhide is the crack that starts on the bottom left.
Protection
Bring gear up to 2.5 though mostly smaller stuff.
You can set up a top rope by climbing one of the other routes and walking over to the top anchors.

Wowzers. Awesome climb. The business is right in the middle, through a long section of ring locks and rattly fingers. The feet are brutally tough in this section, but fight the urge to stem right... it will decrease the grade significantly. Mostly gear from yellow alien to #0.75 camalot... but a #3 camalot could come in handy at the top and you can get a #1 in at the bottom. The climb stays in your face all the way to the top, so don't think it is over when you get to the roof!
