Purdie Shuffle

Description

Purdie Shuffle ventures up the central Salami Slab left of Snagglepuss. The first pitch tackles two overlaps and features a tricky 5.10a spot. Pitch 2 is airy slab work (5.7-ish) along a vertical dike. The climb continues another partial pitch (5.8) to merge with the 6th pitch of Snagglepuss. Check the topo for details.

If you're wondering about the name, search YouTube and be aware that the first ascentionist is a master drummer and drum builder.

Location

Access Purdie Shuffle by climbing the first three pitches of Snagglepuss to reach Salami Ledge. The Purdie Shuffle starts about 50' left of SP's fourth pitch take off. The first bolt is visible about 25 feet up, above a scoop-shaped stance.

Protection

Mostly bolts, though pitch one requires a few cams - several tiny plus one 2". Pitch 2 is all bolts
