Spuds in Space

50 yards farther North on the trail from

Merry Maids

at the top of a slippery dirt hill are three beginner (for Rifle) routes. Spuds in Space is the route on the left slightly down from the top of the hill.

This is a good, well protected route with slightly polished/greasy holds. The crux is about halway up going over a mini-overhang. It is not exactly a beginner route, but at Rifle it is as close as you are going to come. This is a fairly long route and probably should be done with a 60m rope just to be sure.
