Description
One of the only pure sport lines at the Beer Walls and what a good one it is!
Pats' climbs out a steep cave/roof-like feature on good one to two-pad incuts and large pinches.
Begin the route via a right to left angling traverse that leads the climber into steep surfing past several bolts to a no-hands rest on the arete that forms the left side of the buttress/cave. Climb right of the arete and fight your way to the chains!
Location
The right end of the Lower Beer Walls is a cave-like feature with a large over-hanging crack on its' right side (Clutch and Cruise). Pat's Blue Ribbon starts on the right side of the cave and traverses leftwards.
