Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description After pulling the initial roof via a balance-y move, continue sustained climbing on crimpy holds. The redpoint crux is surviving the pump to the top. The bolts are somewhat well-spaced for the typical Echo Cliff route.
Location The rightmost bolt line on the Chocolate Wall. Start by pulling the obvious initial roof. Rap off chain anchor.
Protection 10 bolts, chain anchors

| Lizzy.....10 bolts? Are you including the anchor in your count? Should be 8 bolts. Could you also include the length of the route in the description? |

| Great positioning. I thought the roof crux was pretty spooky. If that clipping jug goes while pulling up rope (and it WILL some day), the ground is going to feel pretty hard. |

| Bobby Bensman claims there's no shame in using a stick clip. And she was once ranked 3rd among US women climbers behind Lynn Hill and Robyn Erbesfield. Lots of folks at Echo Cliffs (and Riverside Quarry & Smith Rock) carry them. Just ask someone if you don't have one. |
