Description The BEST 5.10a at Mentmore, this route should get climbed far more often than it does. It follows a shallow, incipient crack system up a shallow scoop in the cliff face, with fun climbing, good rock, and so on. Go do it! Clipping the 3rd bolt can feel quite hard, though, so this is not a good choice as a first 5.10 lead.
Location The second boltline left of the obvious, jumbly "Why Crack". Look for a shallow "scoop" in the cliff band. Walk or lower off; don't rap, ropes get stuck easily.
Protection 5 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.

| As of January 30th, 2011, the third bolt on Inner Sanctum was loose and in need of repair.

| Bolt is still loose. Adds a little excitement. |

| Is the bolt loose inside the sandstone or is it just the hanger? In other words, can it be tightened with a wrench or does the whole bolt need replacement? I know I won't be able to make it there soon but this information could be good for anyone who might be able to repair it in knowing what they need to take to the crag (just a wrench or the whole bolt kit?). |

| Sorry for the vague post. If I recall correctly, the sleeve was loose. So it will likely take more than a wrench. |

| Tightened the third bolt today, I have been meaning to do it for months. Should be good for now but may still need to be replaced. |
