Description
This obscure little sport climb lies on Der Freischutz in the complicated Dinosaur Mountain area. Hike the Mallory Cave Trail, past Dinosaur Rock and up into the gully S of Der Zerkle. A bit of scrambling here. Find this rock on your left. This route is on the lower west face. Find a 4 bolt steep slab.
This devious, steep, slab route has thin face climbing past 4 bolts with cruxes after the 2nd bolt and after the 4th bolt. Rossiter describes using some underclings. 2 bolt anchor.
This felt stiff for the 11a rating told to me by Scott, but it was done a while back. Chalk helps. Lack of sun helps. It may be a bit runout above the 4th bolt. It may be a challenging onsight.
Just to the left is a 3 bolt line, Sidewalk Stroll, 11a (according to Scott).
Protection
4 QDs and slings for the anchors.
