Hot Dog Stand

I looked at this stretch of stone a couple of years ago and it seemed too low angle to be interesting. But hey... another easier route adds a bit of critical mass to the area.

The rock quality seemed good. And it's the longest route at the upper wall. It turns out it's a little harder than it looks too.

So I guess it's good. For its angle and rating. I haven't put up many routes of this type, so I'm not a reliable judge. It's pretty steady at the grade with a thinker start and an oddball finish. Thanks to Jordan for the help and the belay.

Way left side of upper wall. Around the corner to the left of Walk After Dark. So it faces southwest (unlike the remainder of the upper wall which faces southeast). It can catch a lot of sun. Belay spot should get shade from big tree by about 3 pm.

You can get to it by just going way left along the base of the crag, but that requires some scrambling to get around the corner. Another way is to go WEST from the TOP of the crag and then swing south, down and around to the route. The anchor is easy to locate high up above the narrow SW face.

8 bolts and mussys. 

This low-angle route is bordered on the right by a low-angle drop-off arete. (The attached photos show the situation.) It is faintly possible that a new or spaced-out climber on top-rope (or lowering off anchors) could tumble off the route and go over the arete onto steeper ground, and take a rope-grinding, swinging fall that would be no fun. To prevent this, draws should be clipped above newbies when they TR. Then they can unclip them as they go up. And they should RECLIP them as they lower off. The last person up should be competent to lower off with no bolts clipped, and can remove the draws as they come down.

I don't really see this as a danger. But I've seen people do some crazy shit.
