Description 

Using the top anchor for A.C. Devil Dog (5.10d) and Table Manners (5.8), there is a bolt just right of this top anchor nearly directly above A.C. Devil Dog, which leads straight up the severly overhung upper headwall of the Grotto. This is Flight Simulator.

Climb up large jugs for the first three bolts on hellaciously overhung but really solid rock. For the final two bolts and to the top anchors, climbing gets balancy and remains powerful. All moves are pumpy, all moves are excellent.

A Fall in the short traverse section just before the top anchors will undoubtedly put you into flight, so enjoy your drop!


Protection 

5 bolts to a 2 bolt top anchor.

I guess Dustin now sees how the climb got it's name.  Have you ever seen 6 quickdraws pointing straight out from the rock before?

(May 2012) 3rd draw was a chain w/biner in pretty good shape. The other 4 I would set longer runners!
