Dirty Surprise

Description

This route heads up the obvious long crack system on the right side of Surprise Rock. Don't let the name disuade you from climbing this route. Other than a few loose flakes at the bottom, the route is quite clean and long.

A few hard moves near the bottom lead to fairly straightforward climbing in the middle of the pitch. However, near the top, where the crack disappears, the climbing is both well protected and challenging.

Protection

Good variety from 0.25 to 2.5 inches. Two bolt anchor. Rap off from Trembling Toes anchor to the left.
