Description

Scramble up the 5.6 ramp for 10’. Clip the first bolt, and cruise up the off vertical face to the 5th bolt. Dance through the crux on thoughtful footwork, clip bolt 6 and cruise once again to the top. Arrive at a 2 bolt anchor with rap rings. Please do not toprope through the rap rings.

Note: there is natural protection to be had on the 5.6 ramp start or even a possible cam placement, but it really is easy climbing.

The 5th bolt is intentionally a little farther left on the face, to avoid having the rope & quickdraw getting twisted up in your feet during the crux section.

The anchor for Dirty Dancing also works really well for

Jammers Kant

, as it keeps the rope out of the crack and is much better than climbing up the dirty corner to the bolts way over the top. You probably just want to leave some directionals for the follower.

Location

From the base of Hops Wall, walk left past

Raising Awareness

, and continue on the climber's trail through the high grass. When you arrive at the wall, you’ll be at the bottom of

Emotionally Involved

. Continue up and past

The Sweet Spot

and

Jammers Kant

, and look straight up at Dirty Dancing.

Protection

6 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor with rap rings.
