Colorado > Montrose > Dry Creek Crag > Right Side

Description

Start off in the big hog corner, and start working it up! Plenty of footholds make this layback much easier.

Location

It is just right of the classic Gritstone Arete.

Protection

Bring your big stuff, we did it with a #2 - #6 (BD) one of each. You can toprope this, but then what are you doing with your life? It has a 2 bolt anchor with chains/rings.
