Description 

p1, follows the arete right of Adam's Rib's start (the 3 star pitch). Burly face moves originally rated 5.10+ by the sandbag FA team, repeats put the grade at 5.11. Belay same as p1 Adam's Rib. p2 aka "the junkyard" was added as an after thought and crosses Adam's rib trending toward the top of pitch 1 of Falling Ross. Runout and easily avoided 10-R climbing (do p2 Adam's Rib!). p3, a thin aid line was freed by Sarni and is hard (left of Adam's rib arete).


Location 

Right of Adam's Rib, starts right off ground at corner. Drop 2 stars if considering the second pitch.


Protection 

small to small camming units, bolts.

Sarni heard that Suzuki was in town and grabbed RB after class to lead the third pitch. Fell once, then returned 2-3 days later to complete the climb w/o falls.

I have started replacing the bolts on this route. After removing one of them from the first pitch, coupled with the second pitch having some half drilled bolts, I would highly reccommend against this until we finish rebolting in a week or so (hopefully).
