Description

A short, steep route with powerful pocket pulling and tasty, sequential cruxes. At the time of this writing many of the pockets on this route are very sandy and I wanted to address that before some dink from out of town ripped us a new one for it. Despite being a bit dirty, Dance of the Spam Patty would make a great project for some determined, young climber who is breaking into the 5.12 grade. Just bring a toothbrush, some extra chalk, a good attitude, and healthy pair of lungs to clean and blow out the pockets before sending. Very bouldery! Enjoy with a side of rice.

Location

Right hand most side of The Lunch Box Wall. Pretty obvious because it is much shorter and steeper than the other two routes is shares the wall with.

Protection

5 bolts. Anchors are open.
