China Doll5.14a R

China Doll is a hard traditional route in Upper Dream Canyon notable for its combination of very difficult crux moves and serious runout (R) protection. The R rating indicates that protection is sparse or marginal through some sections, so the climb tests both maximal technical ability and psychological tolerance for risk. Routes like this are significant within the trad community because they require committing to insecure gear placements while climbing at the upper end of difficulty for led trad climbing.
