Set against the raw granite faces of Bishop’s Sierra Eastside, Chick Dead, Dog Killed It offers a gritty blend of trad and sport climbing that challenges both resolve and technique. This 300-foot route stretches over three pitches that force climbers to engage with textured patina plates, exposed ledges, and bold sequences that reward careful gear placement and steady nerves. The first pitch kicks off from a solid anchor stance, demanding an upward push into a corridor of well-placed bolts before veering right onto a sweeping ramp lined with golden anchors. The rock here bears the marks of ancient wear, its patina plates almost daring you to trust your holds and commit. As you move into the second pitch, the terrain shifts to a grainy, weathered ramp where balance and footwork meet exposure. Large huecos punctuate the path, creating natural features to clip but adding a hint of vulnerability — the runouts amplify the thrill, reminding you why you sought out this climb. The final pitch distills the adventure into a single, delicate 5.6 slab move guarded by a lone bolt, a quiet but technical conclusion that tests body tension and concentration. Climbers have pushed harder grades here, but the crux remains this measured slab, where a slip could undo the previous efforts. Descending requires three controlled rap stations accessed via a slight chimney to the climbers’ left, rounding out a route that blends flowing movement with serious commitment. Geographically positioned in the Mussypotamia Left sector of Little Egypt, the climb benefits from morning sun warming the wall, while afternoon brings respite under open skies. The area demands respect for its sun exposure and the fragile nature of its bolt placements, which are well-maintained but minimal. Whether you're gearing up for a detailed trad adventure or a pumped sport climb, this route in Bishop’s backcountry is a precise test of skill and nerve, rewarding those prepared for its nuances and rugged terrain.
