Gwen Johnson follows "West Facing" on TR. Photo b...


Description 

The right west-facing route on the Bubble.Full of pockets, since there's a little more lateral movement on this route, it seemed trickier, though less physically taxing than its neighbor, solar power.


Protection 

4 botlts to a 2 bolt anchor. The first bolt is pretty far off the ground, so stick clip it if you're not into that sort of thing.

I think it's "West Face" rather than "West Facing." The first bolt is easy to reach but if you're queasy about it you can place a cam before it. I think there is a new bolt lower down for a more direct approach to the first bolt.

I dont know where the ing came from - this route is called "The West Face" not "west facing" although it is west facing - and most people including myself think it is 5.10c not d. Either way - its a great route with a hella great view!
