Description 

Just right of Menses. Not quite as clean or nice as that line, but still a fun bolted layback crack line. Follow the bolted crack until the bolts move left onto the face.


Protection 

7 bolts up to a 2 bolt anchor.

My first outdoor lead! Good climb. Seemed hard as hell at the time, but I'm sure it really ain't too bad. Nerves got the best of me being my first lead.

Relatively good climbing with poor bolt placement... the bolts imply a face climb while the moves imply a crack climb, likely an attempt by the FA party to affoid controversy involved with bolting a crack - ?

we did this route once sticking to the face , and once in the crack. I think the crack is overall steeper/more pumpy, but the face is more thin. The upper just follows the crack pretty much, but I remember great pockets higher up.

P.S. you can also jam the crack insead of laybacking.

The bolt placement was fine, if you place bolts to the right more the rock isn't as good. I would rather reach to clip than fall on a bad bolt.

The bolts require some traversing from the crack to clip, but it's definitely the crack you want to climb.
