Description 

Listed as a 5.9 in the Climbing Skyline Boulevard book, I think the first move of Balance Sheet is a little harder than that. After it, you have one bolt, then 50 feet of 5.3 huecos before another challenging move just above the second bolt.

Not a great route, but a decent warmup if you're here.


Protection 

2 bolts for 80 feet. Some trad placements could probably supplement that in the easy (and extremely runout) section between the two bolt.

The top anchor is either the two bolts at the top of the rock or you can use the single bolt atop Underpass (just to the right) and equalize it with the tree branch right there.

I thought it was hard for 5.9!

Cool first couple boulder moves! Make sure your partner spots you on the start. Used a couple tricams to protect the runout in the middle.

This route has a very hard start but is extremely easy afterwards.
