Description
If you're back here and having fun on the other routes, give this one a try too. It certainly does have an issue of being run-out but the start is well protected as well as the higher crux. Rock quality is fair and for the length of the route, a worthwhile adventure. Crazy old bolts on this one!

4 old bolts and a shared anchor atop Chute to Kill.

Fun climbing in a seldom visited area makes this a worthy tick to seek out. Although runout it's not really bad for a competent 5.8/9 leader as the hard moves are always near a bolt. This definately needs the bolts replaced as they are waaaaay old (the bolts have square nuts). Two stars out of five.
This is indeed a serious route. The first two bolts are easy to find, after that they are not. The route could go any number of directions after the 2nd bolt. I only found one more at about twice the height of the 2nd bolt. And the clipping hold (biggest 'flake' on the route) was flexible. Very spicy but within the grade.
