Details
This is part of the Sinks Canyon State Park and they require all dogs to be on a leash. You may unleash that pooch when you go onto the National Forest (fromMore Funky than Gunky west). Please adhere to this law and ask your fellow climbers to as well.
Description
About 20 feet right(climber's right) of Put Down Your Ducky (5.8) is this short bouldery route. Climb the bulge/shield feature on excellent rock using sidepulls, underclings and crimps. I recommend pre-hanging as many draw as you can, especially on the second hangar as some may find it a bit difficult to clip. Really fun sequence up to the fourth bolt and then cruiser jugs on less than vertical terrain past the fifth and final bolt and on to the anchors.
Location
Dutch Rudder is located on climber's right from Put Down Your Ducky on Sink's Main Wall. These two routes are just up canyon from all of the moderates located to the left of Killer Cave. The next route to the right from Rudder is Global Warm-up.
Protection
Quickdraws. Five(5) bolts and a set of Fixed ring anchors.

some balance moves from the bottom to a bouldery move on poor feet above bolt 1. more insecure feet and decent pockets/side pulls get you to bolt 3. make it past this and enjoy chossy 5.7 climbing to the anchors.
short, hard to grade but worth it for the boulder problem at the bottom Jun 5, 2018
