Summary

Dirty Sanchez

Following pitch 4 of Dirty Sanchez.

In May of 2009 Shirley & I went back to Goose Egg Mountain and climbed the Dirty Sanchez (7P 5.8). An uninspiring line overall: good protection and this most excellent name were not enough to offset the forgettable climbing. This time we did the Gangsta Rap instead of walking off. Which one is recommended? Don’t really know.

Unknown climber on Ride The Lightning (7P, 5.9) route as seen from Dirty Sanchez (7P, 5.8) next door. The 2 followers are at the top of the pitch on that route - pretty dihedral with a splitter crack in it (May 2009).
