The Space Between

Description

Work thru a shallow, flaring crack angling up and to the right, past two bolts (crux).  Enter the water chute, with small cracks on your left (one of which isn't visible from the ground).  Protect with small gear until you pass a dike and get to the third and final bolt.  Large gear (a #4, and optional #3) protects the rest of the way, and the climbing gets easy but still fun.  Descend via the narrow corridor to the east (same descent as Spread Your Legs).

Location

Climb down boulders into a hole with a Mormon tea shrub at the start of the route.  The start is about 40 ft downhill from the start of 'Spread Your Legs.'  These two routes converge towards the top, but are still separated by a narrowing bulge.

Protection

3 bolts + cams 0.25 - 4". Gear anchor (or climb down into the hole at the top of 'Spread Your Legs' and do a body belay).  If you want to build an anchor for top-roping, two #2s and a #1 Camalot work well -- the top is easily accessed from the narrow corridor that is the descent for 'Spread Your Legs.'  (The corridor can be found slightly uphill and left from Thrown to the Dogs.)
