Description

This route sees few ascents as it is often wet. But if you catch it on a dry day you'll be rewarded with a cool pitch, as well as opportunity for a badass linkup. Start as for DMZ and follow that route to the second bolt. Pull DMZ's thin crux and climb left across the water streaked rock which is hopefully dry. Climb up the dark colored rock past 2 bolts to an overlap, pull the overlap at it's left side, then pass a third bolt. Make a long run out to the belay of Goofers DelightFrom here you can rap with 2 ropes, or keep enjoying the seldom dry rock by linking into Goofer's Delight. For a nice "5.10 spicy" outing, do Rose and Madder - Goofers P1 - Tabu. Rose Madder is a old-time pink pigment used in fabric, books, and paint. The route was named for the color of it's rock.
