Description 

The classic 10b. This is an awesome route. Don't let the roof intimidate you, there's holds up there.


Location 

This is the rightmost route on the tower.


Protection 

6 bolts to chains. Please do not toprope off the anchors. Hang your own draws up there to reduce wear on the anchors.

All bolts replaced 4-24-09 except 1st bolt which was pretty new. Piton came out with ease.

Since there's a ways between bolts you should be solid at the grade (for example, see deck story on Pit front page)

the first two clips are high on the route, very straight forward though.

First and second bolts a little intimidating but it is on easy ground (5.7-8)
