| Dont let the protection grade scare you, there ARE multiple cruxes very well protected with very slighly run out easier climbing inbetween solid 3/8" bolts. |

| Did this one today, the thing doesn't let up. I would agree that there are several cruxes, but the one between the 6th and 7th bolts was the hardest. Pretty heady route, but a really great line. |

| John, what is the difference between this and Reeling', in terms of exact line? The new guide says they're basically the same, but Fools is what they named the retro'ed version. If they are indeed mostly the same, perhaps they should be combined into one route, including the history, to avoid confusion. |

| Reelin' started up a diagonal seam then left to the pocket and up into hell. i have not done Fool's but i THINK it starts left then joins Reelin'. I KNOW the finish is protected.
i have thought about chopping Fools, but am being talked out of it. The climbing is very good. |
