Description 

Follows a line of well-placed bolts through some fun holds to a blocky finish and nice anchors.

More interesting and rewarding climbing than its neighbors, Gates offers some fun movement on good holds. The finish offers a couple different options. The more difficult of the two (in case you can't feel around for the easy way) is probably 5.8.


Location 

Left of Lunch Bucket Crack.


Protection 

5 bolts, 2 bolt anchor w/ chains.

A bit runout between the last bolt and the anchors. Bring a #2 Camalot to protect the final moves if you're so inclined.
