| Both button head anchor bolts at the top are spinners, and the decomposing granite does not promote using a trad anchor. The protection on this route is difficult at best in decomposing granite (not secure). The majority of the crack is flaring; offset cams might work better. Not recommended for a budding trad leader. Might as well solo the damn thing; I definitely wouldn't want to test any of my pieces on it with a fall.
However, the moves are enjoyable, and this is one of the only trad lines in Horseman's Center. |

| Pro is not that bad. I really don't think it 5.8 after climbing in Josh all winter. |
