Description 

The blunt arete to the left of the Dead Dog Face with the American Flag spraypainted on it. 'The Prow' used to be a toprope problem but in 2006 or so, Mike Endrizzi bolted it to make 2 routes that start at the same spot on the prow. If you angle left where it splits and basically go straight up the prow (the left side of the arete is 'off'), it's 5.8 or so and called 'Pietro Loves Iris'. Sort of a one-move route but hey it's Barn Bluff and they are all pretty short.

If you go right, around the corner to the Dead Dog Face and finish on those anchors, it's about 5.10a. Both routes are short and have only a couple moves that require some thought, but are worthwhile additions to the bluff. See separate entry for Dead Dog Arete for the right hand line.

Protection 

Bolts. Please use your own gear for top rope. Please bring an extra biner and if the ones up top look bad or don't easily clip or shut, please replace it. It's good karma.
