Description

This climbs nice orange rock up sustained, just-past-vertical climbing. There are a few challenging clips and several tricky sections. Just before the anchor, hit easier ground and a good clipping slot (watch out for nests and guano) to reach way up and clip the anchors.

Location

Currently this is the 11th route from the left side of the cliff. It is somewhat by itself climbing orange rock to finish below the upper roof. To the right is the start for Guano Pods and the many Imperio variations, including the classic 13a "Imperio Direct".

Update 07/21 There are a bunch of new hard looking routes in this sector that continue to the top of the cliff. There is now a route that shares the first 3/4 of Dobby before breaking right. To climb Dobby stay to the left and finish on the long chain anchors at 1/2 cliff height.

Protection

6 bolts to anchors.
