Access Issue: Closed half of the year Details

Thumb Butte is closed for half of the year for peregrine falcon nesting. Closure is from February to July each year.

Description

Doggy Style is the beautiful blank face with lichen on it to the right of Dog Leg. Getting to the first bolt of Doggy Style is unprotected (20 feet) but relatively easy (9+). Multiple Cruxes and sustained.

Location

Center of the blank wall. Only bolted route on the face.

Protection

Bolts: 5 plus anchor.

The only reason I gave this the R rating is because of the intial 25 feet with no gear. Other than this run out it is completely safe.

I think your right bob, in the original book it puts it at 12b/c. Rethinking back on this route its probably closer to 12b. Aug 23, 2014

There is a great opportunity for a stopper placement above the dihedral start, below the bolted face if you're trying to be a little less sketchy Nov 3, 2014

Easy and fun to top rope this climb from the dogleg anchor. Bring a couple small to medium cams to back up a couple fixed pins. If leading, bring a set of stoppers and a few small to medium cams to protect the first 25 feet. Hard and sustained crimping. Jul 24, 2024
