Description
Start on an easy corner and continue up the rounded arete to a ledge then move right and continue up the sloping holds to the anchor.
This climb is a must do for the warming up 5.10 climber.
From the first ascensionist: “If you are interested in why it is called Hippie Dreams there is a reason why I named it that. I was currently nursing a sore tendon so I decided to take it easy and bolt this climb. I rappelled down with my Ryobi gas powered hammer drill to set the anchors. Meanwhile, below me passed the most angelic, beautiful girl with dreadlocks. She stopped to ask me how things were going and I was smitten by her smile. Thus, I named the route Hippie Dreams for this beautiful girl.”
