Description 

An aptly named route, Bottom Feeder climbs the short corner at the base of the cliff. Though the corner itself is quite beautiful, and the crux moves are engaging, the fact that the route ends at a ledge one third of the way up the cliff detracts from the overall quality.

Bottom feeder is a very popular project for boulderers. Stick clip the second bolt. A V7 sequence between the second and third bolts represents the meat of the route. Jugs follow to the anchors.


Protection 

4 bolts.

Yes, it is short.... No, it's not the best Rumney 5.13...but as the description states the crux moves are "engaging" or as I put it wicked hard but fun.... No matter its length, climbing this route will bring you to respect it....
