Description
Friend of the Devil climbs a brown and tan wall. Per Mike Anderson: FOTD has sequential climbing on a panel of solid rock. This has exceptionally good footholds for San Luis Valley rock and mostly solid edges that you pull on, though there are at least two good pockets. The anchor is in a poor location, on the flat top of the fin, which is hard on your rope. I always step right after clipping the last bolt to use the drop in anchors on the new route to the right.
Location
This route lies just left of Witching Hour. Per Mike Anderson: FOTD is in the main canyon on a rock fin that hosts 6 routes, including "La Bruja" with the "Witch's Eye" that is the canyon's namesake. FOTD is the furthest route left on this wall.
