Little Evil (aka Slope a Dope)

Description

This is a continuous line up superb steep rock with a crux at the beginning of the route. Start over the river on some beautiful sloping ledges for the first two bolts and then up to some good hidden pockets and edges up really steep terrain to the Muscle Hustle anchors. The Original anchors were in a bad spot so the location was moved. Stick clipping the second bolt is recommended, although the ground level has dropped since the route was installed. The route was given the false name "Slope a Dope" by someone other than the first ascensionist, but unfortunately is misinformation in all published guidebooks of the area. This could be a three star route, but it is too short.

Location

The obvious chalked-up shorty left of The Muscle Hustle and to the right of Tweak Freak on the 45 degree Boulder.

Protection

Four lead-protection bolts to a two bolt lowering anchor. It's common to stick clip the second lead bolt. A low, brown-painted glue-in belayer bolt helps keep the rope (and belayer) separated from the climber.
