Rodeo Girls in Bondage

This route roughly follow the arete on the left side of the

Dragon Arch

wall. We did it in 3 pitches. There is a lot of bad rock with not fun climbing on this. However, mixed into the grass, choss, and kitty litter are a few sections of good rock and interesting moves. One of these sections with good rock as pro that would probably catch a lead fall, the other section has no pro.

P1

: Follow the dirty gully up to flakes on the right side of the gully. Continue up the flakes to a small stance with a 2 pin anchor on the arete. The pins were ok. 5.8,70'.

P2

: Undercling out the crack to the right past a pin. The crack quickly turns vertical. Follow it past another pin and around to the left side of the arete. Continue up the face on good, knobby rock with pro that will probably catch you. Aim for a small ledge in a chossy right facing corner made of stacked flakes and dirt. Follow the corner until you can stand on top of it. Stare at the short nicely featured face above with no pro. I climbed this face on the right side near the arete to a ledge with a large pine tree as an anchor. There is a crack/water groove to the left that did not look like it would take pro. 5.9+,150'

P3

: We followed the wide crack with some fun climbing up to a ledge. Here my partner traversed way right across a bunch of rotten flakes to a 2 bolt anchor that I think is the top of Enter the Dragon. 5.8,60'

Two single rope raps brings you to the base of

Valentines Crack

. We did a short rap to the anchors for P1 of

Enter the Dragon

and then one long one to the ground.

Bring small nuts and cams up to a 3" piece. I appreciated small BD C3's and brass offsets.
