The Perfect Kiss (P1 of Rock Atrocity)

The Perfect Kiss is the 5.11d first pitch to

Rock Atrocity

, the hard-to-miss 5.13+ out the giant, overhanging, maroon capstone on the south face of the Hand. It's a bit sharp with some creaky flakes but is a plenty-tough challenge if you're in the area.

From

Power Bulge

, head uphill to the ramp/slab used to access

New Saigon

/

Father on Fire

/

Cardboard Cowboy

. Scramble up about 20 feet to a little ledge/slot below a bulge with cobbles and look up -- six bolts take you to anchors hidden over a final little face, below the upper business of

Rock Atrocity

on the final headwall.

Expect a crux down low and one up high on the little face. A couple clips are tough, but the bolts are sited where they have to be, to avoid hollow plates of rock.

It is midway up the ramp along the southwest side of the Hand on Dinosaur Mountain.

Six bolts to a two bolt anchor.
