Description 

Fun climb with plenty of opportunities to make it harder than it needs to be, primarily by going further right whenever you see fit.


Protection 

3 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor shared with Better Eat Your Wheaties. Also, the same hurt-full trees beneath Better Eat Your Wheaties are also beneath this climb. If you lowered a climber into the trees before, don't do it again. For they will be angry... (you again)

The hangers on this route have been hammered flat. I don't know if you can get a quick-draw through them, and I doubt you should trust them.

Like Brian said this route was mutilated by some unknown vandal within the past few years. . . LAME !!! It seems like this was a half-hearted attempt to replace the old bolts EXCEPT instead of completing the job it looks like the person just got frustrated when the old bolts didn't pry out easily. Then they decided to hammer the hangers flat (all three) and left the route a mangled mess. This was a short but exciting route that many people enjoyed climbing on lead or TR prior to when the vandalism occurred. This is the number one priority route restoration project at MSH in my opinion. . . I know. . (this is a rant)
