Description 

Located on "The Visor" just up the hill from Surprising Crag approx. 50 feet above Frictionary. This route is the furthest right bolted line on The Visor. Ascend an easy lower section reaching the upper, more vertical section to the anchors. Getting the anchors may be the crux, reaching high to clip before making the moves may be the best, especially for someone a little shorter. A decent route, great for intro leaders.


Protection 

5 bolts - 2 bolt anchor.

This is pretty fun and good for beginner leaders... it would be easy to reach high and clip if you are tall... but as a midget, it was a lot easier for me to clip the anchors once they were at waste level. I though my clip position was a lot more secure even if you are higher up.

Great fun! Just below the anchors there is a solid undercling that let me reach the anchors easily.
