There are 8 bolts and a 2-bolt anchor with chains on this route. It is located between Grumpy After Eight (5.10a) and KGB (5.10b). Look for the prominent chimney up high. Stemming to chimney to face climbing - there is a nice variety of climbing at a moderate grade. Note - bolts are on the outer portion of the chimney and difficult to reach if you get too deep into the chimney.

Initially when starting this route I was thinking, "why bother" but as it turns out the chimney section is really fun. (it reminds me of The Sport Chimney in Calico Basin/Red Rocks)

It's a nice route addition for the grade. Not many warm ups or moderates in Atlantis.
