Description 

Technical climbing following the thin seam on a steep slab to a steeper finish. Apparently you are meant to mantel the finish but it is so filthy and over grown I literally had to dig through dirt to find the bolts.

My vote is to put the anchor a little lower so that you don't need to mantel in to the overgrown jungle. I haven't climbed it yet but I wanted to warn folks about the anchor which is pretty funky. I will post pictures of the anchor to explain.

Location 

The thin seam with bolts, the second to last bolted route up the hill.

Protection 

5 bolts to funky anchor.
