Description 

The first bolted line left of Grave Line. If this was a North Table Mountain climb, it would probably get at least one star. However, considering the quality of the routes at Monitor Rock, I can't even recommend giving it a go. It's not dangerous, loose or poorly bolted, it's just not worth messing with, unless you can't lead sport 10a. If you really want to climb sub 10a sport, go to the Butt Wall where there are 2 5.9s and a 5.8 worth doing. The climb is often busy simply because it is easiest and only 5.8 sport climb on the main wall.


Protection 

6 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.

The only real warm-up at Monitor, but a great one! Good for beginning leaders, too, b/c it's well bolted.

Did this back in August. It really is a good warm-up, and a decent route - deserves at least one star.

I'm not sure about the 5.8 rating. Maybe 1 move of 8, maybe.
