Description

Not a long climb but it all packs a punch from start to finish.  Negotiate the short lived entry slab and crack to a comfortable stance where you will find some important gear. From the stance figure out how to negotiate the cryptic overhang into a more strenuous stance under the roof.  Follow the obvious horizontal (look for critical gear) and start railing left below the first bolt.  Big crank up and back right to the first bolt.  Big moves to the second bolt and on to the anchors.  There is small gear above the second bolt to protect the redpoint crux if you can fight the pump.

Location

If you've found the Kennel, then the start of Mad Dog is fairly easy to locate.  Look for a wide, short crack feature leading to an overhanging corner 15 feet up.  You can belay from the engineered landing or take a big step down below the landing to give your leader a little more rope in the system.

Protection

Gear and two bolts
