Chicken Chop Suey, IV, 5.9+R
With Danny from Santa Fe. This route is not runout nor anywhere near an alpine IV adventure in length, but that is how the local guide has it listed. I gave it one out of five stars because it only really had one good pitch, the third pitch which offered some wide climbing up a steep dihedral. The last pitch was ok, mostly some face moves through a couple of bolts though. We did this route in 7 pitches. Finding it was tough only because of the poorly written beta on MP.com. Hopefully I made it a bit better in my description. Good thing is that once you find the Shield on your first trip, it will be a piece of cake from there on.
