Description 

The right-most climb on the ort wall, and the most popular warm-up in the grotto. Big jugs with unnecessary slopers in between, the only difficulty is identifying which holds are good.


Protection 

5 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. Either bring a sling for the third bolt, skip it, or deal with the drag.

This was a great warmup, not too tough, not too easy.

Pick the right route for a 5.9.

The top anchors are definately getting thin, and I personally WOULD NOT top rope off of them.

There is a new route to the right, so this now the 2nd route from the right. Anchors are still dodgey in my opinion.
