Comments: From the top of pitch 3 (the first pitch after the lower buttress spike) we deviated straight up instead of going left on the big ledge to the bushes. The climbing was excellent, but the rock was pretty hollow. This ended up connecting us to the Fools Rush as it switched dihedral directions.

Comments: Agreed, it protects well with small gear. It's a cute little route.

Comments: Matt, even if they're using an equalized anchor, rotating the chainlink on the right bolt to Great Race puts some nice leverage on the bolt. I don't know if this was the problem or if its the expansion business, either way...

Comments: The right bolt on top of Peels of Laughter has a nice wobble to it. I'm guessing people have been toproping Great Race off of it and the way the bolts are set up this puts a nice force on the right bolt.

Someone who has more experience bolting want to check it out?

Comments: The bird poo mainly washed away and doesn't interfere with the lead.
Great fun!

Comments: Watch out for the bee's nest at the middle ledge on the left. On the up side, they seem pretty friendly.
