North Face 

Aesthetically, this is a two star route. Subtract a star for every 10 tourists or every single RV at the pullout.

I understand there was a small bolting issue on this rock. There is currently one bolt on this route. Strangely, the remaining bolt is next to the best natural protection available on the route. Down lower, a variety of aliens come in handy.

There are currently two bolts protecting this route -- the first is just around the corner as you step onto the face, and the second to the left of the bulge. (See photo).

Jay, I think that first bolt is off-route. I think there is another route that goes up that side. If you traverse in lower, you can protect those horizontal cracks with aliens or cams of similar size. OR you can go straight up from the ground through those horizontals :)

You are right, Bobby. I believe that first bolt is for the 5.8 route that goes pretty much straight up from that spot. Thanks for catching my mistake.

I actually think climbing the route in front of tourists is part pf the fun. Normally it's annoying, but you have to accept it for this particular route. I say pick a major holiday and do it with a real crowd. You'll get a huge round of applause and tons of cameras will snap your picture atop the pinnacle. Tourists will surround you after you rap off and ask questions like "How tall is that, like 200 feet?" and want their picture taken with you in all your gear. Trust me, there is no other way a 5.7 will garner you that much fleeting fame and glory!
