Description Suggest change

Although short with only three bolts, Hot Spit is a hidden gem in the Flatirons. The overhung route starts with large huecos and gradually gets harder, ending with a challenging crux near the top. Beautiful holds line entire route, especially the crimps at the crux. Visiting Hot Spit is a great way to finish off a day of climbing at the nearby Overhang Wall or in the Dinosaur Mountain area. Hot Spit is located on the west side of the Bubble. The route is about a 5-10 minute walk down from the Drugs/Power Bulge area; 2-3 minute walk southeast of Sneak Preview; or 5-10 minutes up a gully beginning at Stonehenge at the base of Bear Creek. See also directions to the Bubble and/or Stonehenge.

Protection Suggest change

Three bolts to a two bolt anchor with rings for lowering. Anchors showing some signs of rust. No traditional protection needed.
