Description 

Excellent quality thin, technical face just left of The Slab Direct. This was a very old abandoned project with 2 rusty 1/4" bolts with Leepers, plus a broken-off 1/4" drill bit. We replaced the first bolt, chopped the second (only 3' higher than first), and placed a bolt where the drill bit had been (pulled easily with fingers), then continued the route up and left into a scoop.


Location 

Face just left of the Slab Direct. The bolts are camouflaged and hard to spot.


Protection 

4 bolts, optional medium nut (protects 5.8 moves before anchor), 2-bolt anchor with hooks hidden in scoop.
