Only 2 bolts so it might be a scary lead if you prefer more than one bolt per twenty five feet of cheese grater.

My son and I led Turtle yesterday. There are few hand and foot holds making this the hardest 5.6 we have ever climbed. The rock is very granular and it bites into climbing rubber but that means climbing on friction and slicing up finger tips, a psychological strain.

As I recall, the first ascent team found a desert tortoise at the base of the route the day they did it. They carefully moved the tortoise out of the way so it wouldn't get hurt, and the tortoise peed in response.
