Just before the anchors


Description 

50 yards farther North on the trail from Merry Maids at the top of a slippery dirt hill are three beginner (for Rifle) routes. Spuds in Space is the route on the left slightly down from the top of the hill.

A good, well protected route with slightly polished/greasy holds. The crux is about 1/2 way up going over a mini-overhang. Not exactly a beginner route, but at Rifle it is as close as you are going to come. Fairly long route and probably should be done with a 60m rope just to be sure.


Protection 

9 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.

This used to have the worst, slippery, belay zone. But this summer, 2007, we found a nice new ledge with a retaining wall and some steps. Thanks!
