The climb starts in the gully high on the left side of Shadow Rock. It's base is just before the gully gets steep. Ascend the line of bolts to the crux at the third bolt. Run it out on easy ground to the shared anchors for Swallow, 1st Offense, & Easy Street. Anchor is setup for Rap.

Three well placed bolts. Two bolt belay.

Bolt #1 is a 1/4" buttonhead placed on lead by Ken many years ago. It also sports a Leeper hanger. It needs to be replaced!

THC now "sports" all quality bolts. Removed one 1/4" buttonhead placed by Ken Klis on lead some 15 or so years ago. Rumor had it he was (just speculating here) stoned at the time. We also "camouflaged" the bolts by spraying them with (semi)rock-matching paint. Give this route a try. It's on really high quality rock and has great views. We found that it was still climbable even though the fog was so thick it was practically raining. Base is a bit loose so be careful about knocking rocks on your friends below.
