Fascist Drill in the West 

Although well enough protected for a hardman like Dubois, this excellent pitch is about ripe for some maintenance. The Bugaboo protecting the move below the roof is missing (as are the pins on Adventures of B-Dog just left of this route). Also the bolts, although 3/8", are in their late teenage years.

Also, bring a 60m rope or be ready for a little 5.0 down climbing.

Onsighted this bitch today and there's no fixed pins on it. New hangars (maybe bolts? RPrp's below the roof. Anwyays, my point is that this climb deservies an R/X rating. If you fell getting to that fourth (I think it was fourth, maybe it was third--it's where ya start going straight up again, and ya hope your gonna get gear in the corner/non-crack, but it's bullshit and had me cursing my ass off at the bitch) bolt, and if the third bolt were to blow you'd be screwed with your pants on. R/X for sure, because I've always bean taught to never trust my life to just one piece and that's what your doing on this. But hey--don't fall, and it don't matter. Great climbing on this bitch though and I give it 2 stars though maybe it could be 3. It's no fall zone up there, I think it deserves R/X based on what I just told you.

This is a great route which is best started from the cracks to the bottom right of the route- versus the unprotected left. All of the bolts except the first have been replaced with ASCA hardware as of 5/04. There is no X to this route when started from the right - only some wild R on quality rock with solid bolts.

I TR'd this after doing Mission Impossible. While I was climbing through the runout bolted section (3-4) which was why I didn't want to lead this, I noticed that there USED to actually be a bolt there.
I could see the round patch of epoxy where a bolt hole had been filled. Had this been pulled for a reason?? Was it the FA's doing?
I doubt that this route was put up as is but, maybe some one can replace that bolt.
