Ruffis


Description 

Ruffis is the finger-to-hand crack that heads out the large roof just right of Cat's Cradle. Strenuous and plenty of awkwardness. Wear long pants for knee scums on the walls and roof.


Protection 

Yellow Alien through #2 Camalot. Doubles helpful.

Using the "back wall" like in this shot doesn't seem to help much.  I just jam it straight-on now. Soo good.<br />Photo: Natti Arnold

This is a super route. If it was on the Nautilus, you would do it every time you come to Vedauwoo!

Great route! Challenging and Steep. Don't be fooled by the description in Orenczak's Fat Crack Country, this is not a cupped hands/fists crack unless you have hands the size of a third grade Russian ballerina. I taped my relatively small hands in full on UFC fighter size fist crack gloves, ready for a duel, only to find out that they made the thin hands jams, which make up much of this climb, absolutely horrendous. Oh, did I swear at you that day Zach.

If I had to choose one 11 crack to climb at Vedauwoo forever this would be it. Something about it...
