BETA PHOTO: The Bobsled and Lucky Strikes.


Description 

Start just right of the "Bobsled". Make a series of difficult bouldering moves past three bolts. Clip the third bolt on the Bobsled with a long sling and finish with the Bobsled. Great climbing.


Protection 

12 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.

So this now continues on it's own independent line to the anchor above Lucky strikes for a 5.13 "War on Freedom"?

That would be correct Joshua. It was done before War on Freedom was finished.

Rolofson lists this start as War Sled, and escaping the line even higher as Freedom Sled.

His description of the full War on Freedom mentions stemming out to the holds on Bobsled, but I've been trying to stay the line.

Edit: I finally unlocked the stopper move and know the line will go without any use of Bobsled holds. It's an intense high step/rock up move off the slopey crimp to the high sidepull seam. Now I just gotta put it all together on lead!
