Rich & Rare

• Rich & Rare -

"The spirit of choice for those who are neither"

Rich & Rare starts on the terrace down and left of Loser's Ledge. Use a series of sidepulls and underclings to reach the second bolt. Take your shot at the Crux (involving a pistol-grip hold) and you'll be rewarded with a jug and the third bolt to clip. Continue through easier, but still engaging moves to a rest below the final overhang. Even though the true crux is over, you'll need a bit more amo to get to the top. Two bolts of brilliant overhanging jugs guard the chains and the namesake bottle of whiskey.

The Crux on this route is lower than ideal, but the uniqueness of the holds and quality of movement make this downside less notable. The overhanging moves at the top are what really get the stars in my book.

Rich & Rare starts down and left from Loser's Ledge below the large tree. Make your way to Loser's Ledge and head down the tallus slope to the terrace below.

9 Quickdraws. 7 bolts to chains.
