Description

Start with the spicy beginning of Greatest Show, with the requisite 'kinda-shouldn't-fall' face. Build your gear nest at the base of the roof, then engage in the dead-horizontal roof crux of the Show.

Instead of tackling the golden dihedral, making a leftwards rising traverse with the use of some thoughtfully placed letterbox slots. Savor the victory lap of the delightfully juggy arete. Mantle it out and stroll right a couple of feet to the Greatest Show anchors.

An excellent outing in its own right, or as an intermediate step for the Greatest Show, particularly for those with more biceps than footwork.

Location

Starts on Greatest Show on Earth, shares the roof crux, and then breaks off to the arete formed by the Puppy Chow buttress.

Protection

Rack to 0.75, with particular emphasis on finger sizes. 2 pins of very questionable integrity on the initial face.
