Description
Tiny Dancer goes up the slab just a few feet to the left of Rope Eating Mice but dances to its own tune. Break out your best footwork for the thoughtful sequences on thin edges.
From the top of Behind the Tombstone, follow the bolt line that trends LEFT above the belay ledge and continue left towards the flake. From a good stance on the ramp, clip the bolt on the slab and figure out how to gracefully pull yourself onto the slab. This may be one of the rare occasions that shorter climbers get a leg up. Glissade up the slab to the anchor(mussy hooks) shared with the start of the 3rd pitch of Ride the Lightning. (For another 15ft or so of .10a/b climbing, join Rope Eating Mice here by continuing past the RTL anchor, moving right into the white corner --one more bolt -- and following knobs and crimps in the roof to the Rope Eating Mice anchor.)
"Dancing On My Grave" (approx 130ft?, .10b) -- start your lead from the ground, combining Behind the Tombstone with Tiny Dancer for one long pitch of Index awesomeness, finishing at the Ride the Lightning anchor. Add a few more draws and slings and a Green Alien or blue TCU to the rack noted below when doing this combo as one pitch. Can be toproped from the base of BTT with an 80m rope.
Note: Tiny Dancer is also the 2nd pitch/approach pitch for "Kiss the Sky."
Descent: an 80m rope gets you back to the ground from the Ride the Lightning anchor. If lowering with a 70m, it is best to stop at Behind the Tombstone anchor.
