Sour Mash, 5.10a

3rd Pitch- 180’- 5.8/ This is a long pitch with bolts and sections of sustained 5.8 broken by easy rest spots. Move up and slightly right over a bolt on large holds into a corner that is easy to protect. Once in the corner, move out and left over a face onto a ledge with a rappel/mid-belay station. (left, not right as Handren suggests) Continue climbing a small corner above placing easy gear and clipping a few bolts. Eventually this corner gives way to a crack. Continue upward to an anchor and small ledge on the face to your right. A well protected pitch. Sour Mash, 5.10a, 6 Pitches, Black Velvet Wall, Black Velvet Canyon, Red Rocks, NV, April, 2008
