Purdy Dirty

I think the greatness of this route is hidden beneath all the dirt and dust! Start in the finger seam, then move up to the overhang on finger pockets. Stem through and head straight up the smooth water groove to an awesome crimp rail. Exit via either variation of the

Dihedral Route

. With mileage and cleaning, I think this could be one of the better routes on The Ridge.

This is located in the same cove as

Dihedral

• take the right side instead of the left.

Use cracks for a gear anchor - same spot as Dihedral. Could be a run-out lead...tricams and small stuff.
