Description:
A really spectacular 4 pitch route that starts just down the ramp from Crimson. Approach as for Crimson, but before you arrive, look on your left for a free standing buttress with a dark varnished corner on its left side. Just to the right of this corner is a striking finger crack- this is your route. Pitch 1: Head up the finger crack to a nice belay ledge. 5.8, 85' Pitch 2: Step left off the ledge and follow bolts and pro to the next stance. 5.8, 85' Pitch 3: Follow a line of bolts to a hanging stance. 5.7, 85' Pitch 4: Head straight up on run-out terrain to the summit. 5.6, 85' Descent: Rappel the route with a single rope.

These are a couple of decent routes to be sure (Test Tube). Spare Rib can easily be done in two pitches versus four with a 60m rope. The first pitch is a classic 5.7-5.8 trad lead.

Fun route. First pitch finger crack was really fun. You can easily link pitches and climb the route in 2 pitches and rappell in 4 with a single rope. Fun climb to do if you want to risk losing your place in line for CC.

Guess why we were here? CC looked like the BQE. This was an awesome route though! Last pitch is a blind run-out (so Jes led it).
