Description 

Knot Head is an old trad route that has been retro-bolted into a sport route. It is the second bolted line left of Dune, just left of Phase Dance, on the left wall of the alcove.

Follow thin to hand-sized cracks and face up the steep wall to the anchors. Be careful to avoid a loose flake at the top.

A good warm-up route.


Protection 

9 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.

Watch out for lots of loose rock. I almost got hit by a 12x12 in piece!

It seems like the bolted route is mostly on the face left of the cracks / trad route. Either way, it is very easy and tempting to use the cracks, which makes it an option for a beginning leader.

Where is this in relation to Enterprise and The Opportunist? I thought the first route left of Phase Dance is Enterprise and the next one left of Enterprise is The Opportunist? Is this the crack between the two?
