If Peterbilts Could Prance

Description

Very fun route, with rather atypical movement for harder routes in the Gallatin.  Begin as for Diesel Driver, cutting right at the lodged flake on top of the first finger crack section.  Moving past 3 bolts on the face comprises the crux, with the hardest moves being around the last bolt. Another 40ish feet of 5.10 over sparse but adequate gear deposits you at a chain anchor.

Location

Same start as Diesel Driver, look for 3 bolts about 30 feet up the face, to the right of the crack of Diesel Driver (the 3 bolts lower on the face are a currently closed project).

Protection

Finger sized gear for the start of Diesel Driver, 3 QD's, and a few small to finger sized pieces for the end (red c3 or similar is helpful).  A double length sling is helpful to avoid rope drag before moving right to clip the bolts.
