Comments: Thats your bolt Todd? I thought you used railroad spikes hammered directly into the rock. Murf - Went over there to get on it, but it started getting dark, next time!
p.s. Isn't this actually on the Slump formation?

Comments: Its true, bouldering isn't my thing. Any the credit for any effort has to go to Todd (as he mentions) and Tony, I'm basically a subman on this one. The question is what did you think of the route?

Comments: RobM...years ago, I put in an anchor on this climb, top roped it (hang-dog style), and put in the first bolt on the lead with a hand drill. I intended on finishing the route, but after top roping it and seeing it was too much route for me, I lost interest. Tony and Murf finished bolting it, and sent it;...but I dont' think they were all that excited about it;...they were just finishing off a route I started, satisfying their curiousities, and having a day at the crags.....(... more >>

Comments: Funny that you guys shun bouldering, yet you put the effort out to bolt this 15ft. route. Looks like something I would bolt!

Comments: Can't take credit, a friend of Tony's took the picture. I can't recall his name, have to find out.

Comments: I give the second pitch a little more props... I thought it was a good time. Of course, I didn't get that lead... I had the DISpleasure of the first pitch - which grainy is a good assessment. Not even close to the fun as P2. Not a "must do" but good fun on a busy day.

Comments: Why do I offer to ever lead off-widths? Route protected pretty well, but my o.w. technique got me thinking that this 5.5 was more like an .8 - which I most certainly am not suggesting that it is...

Comments: Rowdy!! One of the best routes in the park. Done via the Direct Start this climb throws a bit of everything at ya. Black Alien and BD #4 stopper protect the stemmming corner and a Red Alien at the top crux helps keep you sane.
