Description
Dude, Where’s My Car? is the farthest left of the new routes on the wall. It consists of two pitches and goes to the top. See photo-topo for details. Pitch 1 was first climbed by George and John in August of 2009 and pitch 2 by George and Bryan in August of 2011.
Pitch 1: Start about 40 feet left of the widest black streak on the far-left side of the wall. Climb roughly straight up for the first half of the pitch, then up and right along an irregular right-leaning, right-facing corner. Belay at a tree on a ledge. (5.7, cams 1 ea. to 3”)
Pitch 2: Climb up and left from the tree, up a ramp, then up the face past five bolts to a 2-bolt anchor without chains at the top of the wall. There are some run-out sections on the pitch. (5.9 R, 5 lead bolts)
Two rappels with two ropes down Crusader (next route to climber's right) or walk off.
