Dave K. leading Blasting Cap (5.5), his first ever...


Description 

This, the left of two routes on the narrow south face, is located just right of a right-facing dihedral system (a downclimb for the formation) and just left of Wildrose (5.6).

Climb the featured, low angle slab past four bolts to anchors at the top of the face. Orignally done without bolts, it was later bolted to make a well-protected climb for beginning climbers.


Protection 

4 bolts, chain anchor

Its very cool and forward thinking that you bolted several of your easy routes for those folks just starting out on the sharp end. Kudos
