Description

When I first found The Dugout this is the line that popped out at me... Well, kinda... Actually the part that looked so good was the sit start under a 45 degree wall that led to an intersting top out about 10 feet up... This problem as it is, is just the stand start leading to the top out which on its own is the best problem here...

I really hope the sit start goes (it looks about V7-ish), but the rock quality on the first half is kinda junky and so far many holds have broken... I plan to try again at some point but till then here is the problem's stand start...

Stand to the right of the steep wall with one hand on the nice granite out right and one on the crappy rock on the left... Get your feet on and slap your right up to some ok holds... Big move left gets you to a rad solid crimp right above the 45 wall... From here I kept going up and left to the sloping top and slapped my left hand up to the top over my head then manteled... Fun times and the rock is solid and sweet unlike much of the Dugout...

Location

Just right of High and Mighty look for the 45 degree wall... This problem starts standing on the right hand side...
