Description 

The furthest right route on the Recovery Room wall, it follows good holds through a straightforward sequence to the anchors. It is, however, blemished by a huge chipped hold in the middle of an otherwise blank section near the top.


Protection 

4 bolts to 2 hooks for lowering.

A decent route although the manufactured jug above the 3rd bolt is a bit of overkill, ersiously did they need something for 2 hands ? A bit of a let down, but if you are here and want a quick clip-up, go nuts, watch the bat shit at the bottom, it may be slick.

The drilled bucket hold, like every other artificial hold in boulder canyon, should (and will) be filled in. What a pathetic excuse for a route. While these over the hill dudes with power drills may be prolific, they are usually totally lame. Let's get some new (young) route developers out there who can advance the sport by climbing natural rock.

Can we stop adding chipped routes to the site? Publicity equals legitimacy.

I agree. Artificial routes should not be published and should be filled as a public service.

Why does the 'Boulder climbing community' accept chipped routes? If you allow it to remain then you are accepting it.

It sounds like this route should be removed from both the site and the cliff. Publicity and acceptance equals legitimacy.

Why does the Boulder Climbing community accept a guidebook with worthless charcoal artwork(questionable) graphics? Because someone painstakingly went to the trouble to produce it otherwise it would not exist.

That's true, they created what otherwise wouldn't exist. Unlike the route developers who chip (vandalize) existing rock to make it climbable.
