Description Suggest change

Dirty Blonde is the right-most route on the East Wall of White Cliff, just left of the obvious chimney/gash of Pocket Pincher.  Begin at a slabby 'toe' on a 2-bolt protected 5.6 slab to a ledge just below a black horneblende roof. Follow 4 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor on a ledge 2/3 of the way up the wall.   Stop here or continue on 40' (3 more bolts) to the top where a 2-bolt anchor awaits.  There are a few ways to descend: 1-With a 70M rope you can just reach the ground.  2-With a 60M rope you can just land below the horneblende roof and downclimb climbers right into the chimney, or 3- Make 2-raps using the mid-route anchors. Dirty Blondes are always more fun!

Location Suggest change

This is the right-most bolted line on the East Wall of White Cliff that is left of the obvious large chimney (Pocket Pincher).   Begin up a 2 bolt protected 5.6 slab to the third bolt in a dark, black, horneblende roof, 8' left of the chimney.

Protection Suggest change

11 bolts (includes the mid-way rap anchors).  Two rappel stations, one at the top and one mid-cliff. (2/3 ledge).

Huge Thanks to Timmothy C. for his support in upgrading BOTH SETS of anchors on this route!
