Description
P1: 5.7, 4 bolts to anchors
P2: 5.12a, (?) bolts
The first pitch of Medicine Show is a good alternative warmup to other moderates in the area.
Crux comes around 3rd bolt. Stemming off the face of the opposing detached pinnacle (Spaghetti Western, 10d) keeps the rating to 5.7. Difficulty can be kicked up a grade or so by sticking strictly to the face.
For budding 5.10 climbers: can be used, if one is crafty, to set up a toprope on Spaghetti Western.
[NOTE] this route description is for P1 to the first anchors. Medicine Show continues above the first anchors on easy 5th class terrain to the looming overhang above, then follows the bolt line up the clean roof above (5.12a).
Pitches 1 and 2 were put up by Duane Ackerman.
