The Sound of One Shoe Tapping (5.8)


Description 

Fun 5.8 friction on gorgeous rock. Some topos list the rappel from here as 85 feet, but a 50m rope does NOT get you to the ground. It gets you to a ledge, from which the ten-foot downclimb is not difficult.


Protection 

Three bolts to a chain anchor. Optional placement in some horizontals below the first bolt, but the climbing isn't too tough or scary if you skip this.

I would disagree about the pro. I thought the crux came down low -- 40 feet off the ground but before you reach the first bolt. I found the upper (bolted) face to be 5.6, 5.7 tops.

I agree with Brian. The crux is below the first bolt. Do yourself a favor and place some pro in the horizontal.

This route was a total push over. I can't see how it was 5.8. Maybe if you worked the moves for a while you could make it 5.8 but I think this route was 5.7.
