Description 

Climb up the large bulge in the middle of Horseshoe Canyon. This route is simple, with the exception of one really balancy move that heads across the bulge.

If this route really was meant to be climbed more, there would be a few more bolts on it, and also the rock would be cleaned in a very grand fashion.

This route is really really runout, and it is my opinion that a bad fall in the crux will probably cause the rock joined to the second bolt to come loose, cause you and it to come plummeting to the ground from 30 feet up. As a result, this route gets a VERY serious rating.


Protection 

4 bolts to a 2 bolt top anchor, shared withUncomfortably Dumb (5.10c). a couple of medium -small cams makes leading this route a little bitmore comfortable.
