Description Climb left of crack then follow bolts up to the chains. Fun climb.
Location This is the route that is furthest south on the left hand wall.
Protection Quick draws 6 or 7 bolts to chains. Belayer should wear helmet as rocks seem to like to fall here.

| Bring some gear unless you like run out on holds that will not last the decade, above great ankle breaker ledges. Tiny and finger-sized cams will do. Only 5, maybe 6 bolts. Easy 5.7, wear helmets belayers stand back. |

| agree with kirk. might be good for a new leader who wants to place some gear but not stake their life on it. |

| litld01 It sounds like you were on the wrong route. Limbomanic doesn't have a second pitch. You were most likely on Scorpion King (first pitch). |

| This is a MIXED route in the guidebook, without gear you're looking at a ground fall runout on easy 5.4 ground between the second and third bolt and a 25-30 foot runout from the last bolt to the chains with some 5.6/5.7 moves. |

| If anyone thinks it is worth it they are welcome to add some bolts. |

| Fun climb. Haven't been on it for years. Probably not a great climb for a 5.7 or 5.8 climber to jump on the sharp end. The first bolt off the ground to the left is on Pindering to the Masses. Saw a party today using it thinking that is where the climb started, but made the climb a bit harder. If you don't like the runout to the first bolt, you can clip that bolt then come down and do the regular start. Has mussy hooks at anchors. |
