Subject: High Plains Drifter
Rating: V7
Quality: 4 stars
Location: The Buttermilk
Notes: American Classic

High Plains Drifter is an American classic through and through. Put up in the late '70s by SoCal resident Dale Bard, this must-do remains an Eastside testpiece to this day. The climb starts at incut flakes about 7ft. high, then continues on incuts to a cruxy long move to a sloper. Past the crux, the problem finishes with juggy plates about 20ft. high.
