Eric stolkin'up before the 1st pitch.


Description 

Got this name from the mysterious 13 that was written on the rock. Great line just right of the [105882225].

P1. Climbs 60 feet to a nice ledge right before the crux.

P2. 100 feet. climbs the left-facing dihedral up a thin and at times shallow seam. After the dihedral, it tops out on another great ledge below a nice hand crack a bit to the right.

P3. 100 feet. Climbs the hand crack up to a small traverse then up a fairly wide and somewhat unprotectable chimney. Scramble 20 feet above the chimney for a good belay next to the top of The White Dike!

Stellar and adventurous climbing! note: there are old slings for raps above The White Dike and we added a bomber nut for extra pro which is equalized with the slings!


Location 

Just right 10 feet of the The White Dike.


Protection 

Standard rack. There were 2 old and rotted bolts on this line as well as an old piton? Not any of them were trustable!!

Great route and good pro. Some spicy sections but very adventurous and very fun! Plan to get some rap bolts on this very soon!!

The second pitch is the bread and butta. I wouldn't say it's better than Slipstream but an awesome airy pitch. At the second belay, we all look up and seen 13 Tally marks under a small roof, spooky!!!
