BETA PHOTO: Bolt Line (5.8, center), Cold Turkey (5.10c, left)...
Description
Bolt Line is one of the longer climbs at the Meadows and offers approximately 70 feet of fairly sustained climbing at the grade. The common start (5.8) is right of the bolt line and works back left to the first bolt. There are a couple of alternative direct starts in the 5.10 or 5.11 range. Climb the face past seven bolts to the anchors. There is a bit of a runout between the seventh bolt and the anchor (protectable with a #4 RP). Fun route.
Location
Located on the face just to the left of the prominent left-leaning flake on Beginner’s Route. Starts behind a large tree.
85 for a date is way off for the rappel bolted date. it was probably bolted in 83 or earlier. the climbed started out with only three hardware store bolts. i didn't realize at the time what a trend rappel bolting would become. the old timers then seeing what i had done to the practice slab said, "well, there goes the neighborhood".
