Description

This climb's name is a joke. It's not dirty and has some very good finger crack usage. It's a good climb to place gear in but the easier exit to the top lacks gear, Excitement to the finish. There is lichen and dirt on the right side. You can step in the dirt near the pine tree if you have too. Go up into a corner with the jam crack. After the crack ends (crux) move right to the rock exit and then belay at tree. Free Soloed The first and second part or pitch two was done with Teresa Nagle (her first climb). Pitch two is closed. It went up into a steep alcove ceiling with a part way in army surplus angle pin. The exit right onto pine and dirt ramp (very dangerous).

Location

Around left of Venus wall on the trail is a big red spot. The climb ascends the wall left of this spot. Walk off up until able to descend left if you know your way around here. Otherwise find a tree to rappel.

Protection

A couple of medium/small stoppers and a fixed (half way in) pin on the second half of the climb.
