Humboldt Current (5.10a) with first bolt clipped. August of 2010, very sandy holds, had to be swept repeatedly for decent grip. All the lead bolts are showing corrosion, but anchors are nice s/s glue-ins.

Whoa! Lauri took this foto.
Centipede (5.9) on TR above first bolt. If leading this route a fall would ground out and second bolt is two spooky moves higher (5.6ish). Bolts are getting old (pic = 2010) and sorta scary.
