Slippery Nipple

Description

Slippery Nipple starts in the yellow wall about 20 feet to the right of the black face with the bolted line,

Not Even

. A corner system can be laybacked and protected with small wires or cams for 30 feet. Exit the lay back to a sub-vertical face and half a dozen bolts. Fine, thin, edge climbing for close to 50 feet will gain a double bolt anchor. The climbing here feels a lot like Devil's Head with continuous moves that never really deliver a distinct crux. Two stars for the excellent stone, good continuity, great sun, and an introduction to Thunder Ridge.

Protection

QDs and some thin camming gear. This route heads directly for a double bolt anchor at 75 feet.
