Description
This is one of the driest route in Ouray, certainly for the grade. It's a squeeze job in between our other route to the right, Dirty Rotten Scoundrel and the outstanding Ze Boom Boom Room to the left. When everything else is dripping wet, this one is often dry, and it faces south, so it dries quickly if it's been pouring out. Further, unlike some other steeper routes in the alcove that also might be dryish, the anchors on this climb do not become wet before the rest of the route. So, if it's raining out, don't despair.
Protection
It has its own starting bolt. Then it shares two bolts on the climb to the right. Then it has its own nasty, left handed throw to a friendly hold. Tall, skinny people will love this. Also, people that like to climb even when everyone else is whining about the rainy weather will love this. The bolts are stainless steel Fixe 3/8" 3.5 inch.
There is a three bolt anchor at the top. The chains are too skinny as of August 2013 and will get up graded.
