Slather

The route's name comes from the Haas book on

South Platte Climbing: Thunder Ridge and Turkey Rock

edition.

Start with a bulging #2 crack right above the bush on the ledge. After pulling the first block, moved right up a zig-zagging, right-angled crack into brief 4th Class. Then, moved into the slab that got increasingly more sparse and difficult. I was happy to have offset nuts and alpine draws.

This route begins on a ledge about 30 feet climber's right of

The Slot

. There is a bush in the ledge where the crack runs vertical.

A single rack to #2, multiples in fingers, and offset nuts.
