Description This is the face below the anchors on Bloody Fingers. There are only 4 bolts on the route, and you have to pull the crux moves before the first bolt. A small wire might be had in the left leaning crack, before the first bolt.
There is ground fall pontential when clipping the first 3 bolts, so this is a better TR than lead. Follow fun face/knobs climbing to the anchors on Blood Fingers.

| I counted five bolts, but that doesn't change the danger rating as what Guy said was correct, in the groundfall potential. A great long face route with some cool friction moves and the odd body postion move. We did it on TR, while waiting for Bloody Fingers to open up...it never did and I ran out of time on this trip. Damn!!!!! |

| I led this route a few years ago, and I'm not sure I'd give it an X rating. I'm not usually that bold. I think solid R. |

| Agreed, definitly not X rated. Maybe R. The runouts would be average at Tuolumne or J Tree. Awesome route! |

| The crux in my opinion is after the first bolt making this route pretty safe and you would have to try pretty hard to fall off anywhere else. I think an R is reasonable but there is a chance of an X fall if you pitched off in the right spot.
You could say that about most routes though if you came off clipping the second bolt or piece of gear.
There are 4 bolts. |

| R - X whatever. This route is rarely led because of the sparse (hand drilled on lead) bolting. Jay G. felt fine about adding 10 bolts to "Mystery Achievement", but wants to leave "New Toy" as is. Go figure.
