Description

V.D. is an easily top-roped problem directly below the 10,000 Restless Virgins tat anchor. It ascends a finger crack on the opposite wall- the cave side of Dick's Prick Pinnacle.

The starting moves (either way) are interesting and the crack requires at least one legitimate crack move. It's worth trying.

Location

Start at the low point of the gulley beneath 10,000 and Girls Just Want to Have Fun, ten feet left of 10,000. Boulder up to slopey, small ledge (or chimney up a few moves.) Follow finger crack straight up to the top of the pinnacle.

There is sometimes a webbing rappel anchor on top of the pinnacle (none as of 2013 - see comment). The only downclimbing options are fifth class.

Protection

The boulder start is unprotected. The finger crack accepts gear the rest of the way.
