Hot Salsa Direct

Description

This is route #6 Direct in the online LAM guide.

Climb the narrow face to the right of Hot Salsa's prominent roof traverse, stay a bit further right than where Hot Salsa goes up the right side of the face, and continue up the ride side of the face to the anchor.

I have not climbed this route, so I don't know its real rating, but I would expect that eliminating the traverse makes it a bit easier than Hot Salsa.

Location

Straight up to the anchor on the right side of the prominent roof traverse for Hot Salsa.

Protection

Have not Trad climbed this route.

Set a gear anchor on top or use the two-bolt anchor shared with Hot Salsa.
