Description 

Start up a mellow face past ten bolts to the anchors. For pitch two step right and clip seven more. The third pitch is the best. Clip twelve bolts and while enjoying the easy arete and belay at the Ame's Way anchors. Not sure where the crux is but it's all great climbing with bolts right where they should be.


Location 

10th route down the Pipeline. Look for the large pine up on a dirt ledge. The route is just down and right of the ledge.


Protection 

12 draws. More if you are going to combine pitches.

Thinking about climbing this during the Bluegrass Festival this summer. Is it a rappel or walk off?

Can I get away with a single 60m rope?

You can get down with a 60m rope as long as you rap off the anchors from the 5.7 route on the left.
