This is the two bolt climb directly to the left of the dihedral. This is a face climb there is a thin finger crack part way up the climb. The crack will take small nuts(and you will probably need them). Continue up to second bolt and rap rings at top of climb. Without small nuts this climb is R rated
Some inconsiderate person chopped the first bolt on this climb so be careful! Several other climbs at Mission Gorge have bolt damage as well. Why would someone find the need to damage some classic routes and potentially endanger people?
My guess is that the recent route vandalism is payback for Art's bolt chopping escapades at El Cajon Mt..

Led it today sans the second bolt (or was it the first?). Wouldn't have minded another bolt lower down on the route but it protects with two small nut placements. I used a small BD purple and a small BD black. You get your first nut placement on solid ground, it just takes a while to build up the confidence to climb past it. Be confident on your placements and climbing skills before jumping on this one.
The friend of mine who sent me up this says that the first time he led it 6 years ago there was only one bolt. I did not see a missing one (doesn't mean it wasn't there). Maybe it is one of those phantom bolts that keeps coming and going.
