Description
I've been eyeballing this route since my first visit to the Bluffs. Very glad I didn't lead it from the ground up. The top was very overgrown and dirty. I cleaned off the top out and clean the face off as well. My intention was to go direct but the wall wants to swing you out left, thus the name Swing Dance. I'm looking forward to working the direct variation and know that it will be hard.

Protection
I climbed it with trad gear only but the first bolt to Rainmaker can protect the bottom portion of this route. Great gear available prior to the "meat and potatoes" but subtle gear after kept me from going direct. I bailed to the left, found protection options, and topped out.Gear Anchor or walk over to Stolen Anchor and lower. Future cold shut anchor in the works.
