Dolt 

Warning: ROCKFALL
DOLT is UNSAFE to climb on!
A climber was at the Hinterlands on 5/13/13 and has indicated to the RCA that the climb Jolt lost its anchor unit, and that the upper rock corner has fallen to the ground. It is believed that this happened over the weekend with the heavy rains. The tree and roots are still up there. It is currently not a solid area, and should be avoided until further notice as there is potential for further rockfall. Please share this notice. More information to follow.

Thank you!

My friends and I thought that this climb and the one to the left of it (jolt) were the most fun climbs of our weekend at Rumney. A bunch of us led both climbs and everyone thought they were of equal difficulty, or actually thought that this climb is really a 5.10 and jolt is more of an exposed 5.9

What's the deal with the sub three stars on this one? It is long, exposed, sustained in the last half, and just generally fun as hell!

because jolt is just that much better

On 05/22/2010 a rock was knocked from Jolt/Dolt area injuring a climber that was belaying below. I have no idea if this changed the route at all but thought I'd let everyone know to be vigilant in this area. The climber that got injured was named Todd. We got him to the ambulance ok but I have no updates after that. If anyone know how he turned out let me know!

Rockfall will always be a problem in this area. A helmit for the belayer is a good idea. 10a seems fair to me. Long runners to reduce drag, like most long Rumny routes.

IMO, technically harder than Jolt. Three distinct cruxes, each very well protected and with a good rest just prior. Exposure is not as spectacular as Jolt but comes close. To keep rope drag manageable through 14 clips, use a shoulder-length sling at fourth bolt and many of your longer draws.
Three stars not for exposure or movement but for three varied cruxes which will make you think and maybe even grunt a little. :)

For the onsite, I think Jolt has a little more dramatic line, but after repeating the two routes many times I enjoy the moves of Dolt even more than that route. They are both great. As others have pointed out, do be very careful about rockfall. The rock is such that stuff will continuously loosen up. People tend to congregate right underneath these routes, which is not such a good idea.

amazing route at its grade. a bit more technically challenging than Jolt IMHO and a bit of a different climbing style compared to Jolt. Right up at the top, by the last 2 bolts, two good left side hand holds are a bit shaky now (X), ended up moving far left to finish. Belayers wear a helmet.

Well worth bringing a couple long slings to reduce drag. Key bolt is the one on the first steep section at about mid-height, but there are a couple others that could be extended as well.

Lee - " The last time I did it there were still a few loose rocks on it, but I think that the traffic the route has seen recently has cleared that up...."

Except for the top of Jolt that has now fallen off including the anchors, lol.

hahaha nice mark.... safe to say i was off on that point...
