Description
Highly popular, Double Dip, is a fun, somewhat polished and fairly runout climb up a lieback flake to dished-out face near the left side of the main Echo Slab.
Be aware the route wanders a fair bit to seek out the lowest angled possibility up the face and runouts of 20 feet or so are the norm.
There is a two-bolt belay on a flat area next to a dike at the top. This anchor is about 40 meters off the ground, so 60 & 70m ropes will NOT work to lower or top rope from.
The standard walk-off descent is down ramps and slabs to the climber's left.
