Dirty Thoughts

Steep, left leaning, tips and fingercrack. The name came from the amount of dirt that filled this awesome route, which took hours of scrubbing to clean! Starts with super technical, funky laybacking up a sloping ramp to reach the base of the crack, followed by long lockoffs between solid locks with bad feet. When you reach where the crack becomes filled with bushes, step right on to a well protected face topped by a cruxy bulge. Rap off.

Around the arete from dizzy dial.

Slings and draws, plus BD .2-1, doubles/triples in .3-.5. Some of the best, most solid pro at Patrick's Point, but fiddly to place. I recommend sewing this up. As with any sandstone route with small gear, especially since the crux is close to the ground, it's better to be safe than sorry.
