Description 

Put up your Dukes! Tricky as a snake in the grass, pardner. And, as the name implies, gritty, at least in the lower half of the route.


Location 

Second route on the right end of Walt's Wall.

Great route, but not good enough rock for 4 stars imo. Technical movement all the way up leads to a cool dihedral, and a thin crux pulling out of the dihedral. Tricky for sure and felt a bit hard for the grade on the onsite.

yup, I agree - felt harder than 11d on the onsight attempt.

Actually thought this was the best of the wall... If it weren't so gritty it would be higher up the list for many I suspect.

Cleaned up by now, in my opinion, though still not immaculate. Way cleaner than 5 years ago. Devious in places, with multiple cruxes. The most sustained & hardest overall climb at this cliff, well worth doing if this is your grade.
