Description
Purple Serpent is the right of the two sport climbs currently on the south face of the Devil's Advocate and climbs directly out the wall on steepening rock to a wild finish on the wave-like swell. A 70-METER ROPE is MANDATORY!
Climb an easy slab to the hueco'ed face, which continues with fun, ever-steepening jug hauling to an anchor at two-thirds height. Stop here if you want at 5.10+, or clip the right anchor bolt, then keep going up the wavy, sculpted headwall above, which features continuously bouldery climbing off the belay along "tufa serps" to a good rest (left kneepad helpful) to a boulder-problem finish out the final black bulge. Bring your crimping power.
Many thanks to OSMP, the FCC, and the FHRC for keeping new-routing in the Flatirons alive and well.
