Above the second bolt.


The route 

One of the many gems on Spiney Ridge. Starts just arount the corner from the New Philanthropists. Start on a lower-angle face on pockets and work your way up to a heavily pocketed corner. Pull over the bulge on huge pockets until they run out and your only option is a beautiful, finger crack. Make the clip and work the perfect locks until the climbing backs off and face holds reappear. Climb up and around the arete to a two bolt anchor on good holds.


The gear 

9 bolts to 2 bolt anchor.

I also agree that Down n' Dirty is a good long route. It has a lot of varied climbing from thin crack to fun face. With fat fingers it could be one hard 5.10c. However, if Carrie Robertson can walk in on crutches and do the first ascent, she should be able to get her name on the first ascent.

I thought the lower face and corner through the bulge were reasonably entertaining. After pulling the bulge, however, the rock quality seriously diminishes (even for Shelf). Use caution while climbing and choose an out of the way location to the left for belaying. Deceptive: it's a good looking line from the ground.

Only thing this climb is good for is hanging draws on the hurricane.
