Description 

Start on the left side of the "prow". A steep start, followed by a short, balancy crux leads to fun and aesthetic climbing above. Apparently, some pockets were drilled.

Maybe a tad harder than 11a, but who's counting.

The first move past the first bolt certainly seems a bit bouldery. It's a great place to take a fall, though. However, make sure your belayer is heavier and/or secured to the ground as a significant lead fall can launch said belayer into the little roof. No fun...

The anchor for this route consists of a bolt and two open shunts. The two open shunts are sketchy and should probably be replaced.

A bolt makeover is pending for Fire Crags, so hopefully bent, loose, and manky bolts like the oft-fallen-on first bolt of Grib Dat Hole will be replaced with something more stout. Last time I was up there, the bolt looked pretty bad. Glue-in, anyone?
