Description
At the end of Dragon's Spine, six clips extend to the anchor of DC-6. Step right off the top of Dragon's Spine arĂȘte to the thin dihedral/face, and ascend a couple bolts to slightly overhanging terrain. The next two bolts are the crux, traversing left on crimps/pocket to a small ledge. Then grovel your way up an awkward dihedral to the anchor.
Location
Climber's left of the upper part of Copper Dragon, a ledge on which can provide a rest before the crux sequence. Leaders should leave a redirect or two to prevent followers on TR from swinging into Copper if they fall.
A more difficult variation of the route ascends Silver Dragon (between Dragon's Spine and Copper Dragon). It is a bit run out between the 5th and 6th bolts if you miss clipping the Dragon's Spine anchor, which is easy to do if you remain in the dihedral .
