Description
Yet another steep slab route on the Royal Arches apron with long runouts on sketchy terrain.
"Sometimes I'm sexy, move like a stud," 'Bitch' by the Rolling Stones.
As a bit of history, when guidebook author, George Meyers, put the route in his guidebook, he felt the route name was 'blatantly stupid' so he changed it to 'Move Like a Spud.' Maybe he didn't get the Rolling Stones reference.
This route was originally done in two pitches. On a very early repeat of the route, my partner leaned back at the belay at the top of the first pitch and one of the anchor bolts broke. Since then the route has been done as a single pitch.
