Frisky Puppies

A testpiece friction slab!!

#2

of the

"CO Northern Front Range 5.12 Pure Slab Trilogy"

(my suggestions and all non-Splatte routes).

#1

is

Between Nothingness and Eternity

at Greyrock

#3

is

Blood For Oil

at Combat Rock

(Both are excellent Crago masterpieces)

Honorable mentions:

**

Greensleeves

on Rock Of Ages (steep slab crimpin')

**

Radlands Of Infinity

on Blob Rock (1st pitch is crux and it's a scratch-fest/ 2nd pitch is thin crack and funky slab---link pitches)

**Razor Hein Stick on Bitty Buttress (short but fierce friction bumps)

Foot-friction traverse up and left for a full 50 meters of friction-paddling, smedging and off balance/opposing presses following a white dike. The pitch is adequately bolted and quite sustained with the crux section halfway between the ground and a blunt knob in a trough. The slightly steeper headwall section has some small crimps and is sustained 5.11. Place a med nut or small cam under a roof and get to a horn rap-anchor which may or may not have slings around it (165').

On the Book. Long, bolted slab just right of

George's Tree

.

10 bolts, a sling, and medium nuts or small cams. 2 50m ropes.
