Comments: Fun safe climb. Lots of solid medium-sized pro opportunities.
As you step up on top, there are two 3/8" bolts to your left (belay anchor) and two rap ring bolts down to your right.

Comments: Please make it easy to use mid-route. Well, on routes where there's signal. Some have a signal - probably won't be too long before everywhere has full bars.

Comments: No bees on 1-15-11. Really fun lead. Didn't use any nuts or tiny cams. Rated G climb - lots of places for solid protection and really good stances to place pro. Brought a full rack of cams up to 2.5. Also brought a few large hexes and loved them.

Comments: Super easy climb, except for the fact that each step is like walking through a minefield of questionable rock quality. Belayer should be extra watchful for rocks. If you're careful, there are plenty of good holds, just be really, really careful not to send rocks down on your belayer.

Comments: Really solid belay anchors at the top of P1 and P2. The second pitch was really nice. It had a few spicy moments that were fun to lead. The view from the top was excellent. I hung from a big jugger hold on the top rim and looked all around - great exposure!

Comments: This is a great little climb - easy and fun. Thrilling exposure at the top clipping into the anchors (stem on the edge of exposed slab with solid feet and a view all the way down). This was my first time back on the sharp end (after 15 years) and the first time ever for my partners and we were all very happy with it. We even set up a top-rope and our 9-12 year old boys flashed it. Easy, safe and fun.

Comments: Route Finding Note: I set out to climb this and accidently climbed Beginner's Two, thinking it was the Bong. The Bong is a little more to the left of Beginner's Two. Doh!

Comments: My first trad lead after 15 years of not climbing!!! I made a mistake and headed up this thinking it was the Bong and would be an easy rated G climb. I would rate the danger as PG/PG-13 (hurt/broken but not lasting broken or dead). I had 2-3 moments where I mentally had to turn off the fear factor. Pro placements were hard to find and I thought "if I fall, I'm going to get hurt... at least cut up". I calmed myself down mentally and took my time and was always able to find pro, when I really desp... more >>
