Watt Rod

Ladies and Gentlemen, fire up your engines! This newest edition to the left-hand side of the AMC Wall is a bad-ass little dune buggy with a ton of fun moves and a cranking crux.

Enjoy a strange start on a cracky slab and start pulling over bulges loaded with small holds and magnificent monos. Enjoy a rest about halfway up before the hardest crux rips out your crankcase. Get set up below the last bouldery bulge and stab at a malicious mono after launching from hard to figure out feet. Hook the mono just right and stomp on the accelerator. Fight traffic through a few more small holds before parking yourself on big jugs below the anchors.

FUN! FUN! FUN! A stylish, good-fun highball bouldering problem on a rope! The theme of the AMC Wall is cars and this little hot rod of a route is named after Jeremiah Watt, a friend of Spearfish Canyon, who spent a few of his formative years in the area before going off into the world to become a well-known photographer.

Watt Rod climbs the striking blonde belly on the left-hand side of The AMC Wall. For those of you who religiously carry around The New Testament of Cronin, Watt Rod is just to the right The Concord and to the left of The Gremlin.

6 bolts. Sporty anchors. Belay close to the trail for maximum comfort.
