Description
Gotta Keep Dancin is a fun 4 pitch route that goes up the far right side of the Main Wall. But the pitches are short and can easily be linked into two. The rock is good, but there is a chance of some random loose rock.
P1: 5.9 40' 5 Bolts Go up a dirt ramp left to the wall. Traverse left and up to clip the first bolt. A short overhang corner system leads to the anchors
P2: 5.8 35' 4 Bolts Continue up the same crack system to the anchors, shares a ledge with a fir tree.
P3: 5.7 50' 3 Bolts Step left onto the arete. Go up into the crack system which kind of feels like a low angle chimney higher up.
P4: 5.7 35' 4 Bolts Short slab climb leads to the anchors.
Descent: Either 2 single rope rappels or 1 double rope rappel.
