Allison pulling hard on the mono through the crux....
Description
Step up to the small roof and clip the first bolt. Pull the roof with a mantle-type move to really get going. Then enjoy thin face climbing on low-angle rock past a couple more bolts to a nice no-hands rest ledge. Then gun it through the steep, thin face climbing, using a nice mono pocket along the way, past three more bolts to the anchors. Definitely a sequence to it.
Location
This is the right-most route on the main wall. Shown as route number 29 on the Overlook route topo photo.
Protection
Used to be just two bolts then a small gear placements in a horizontal crack before the steep, bolted face with three more bolts to a bolted anchor with chains. However, sometime in the past few years (2005-2007?) a third bolt near the horizontal crack was placed by an unknown driller.
Just curious if whoever retrobolted this climb bothered to ask the first ascentionist for permission? Funny, it was a safe lead before retrobolting since the horizontal seam took gear just fine! Next time I see Brian I'll inquiry as to any solicitation for permission. If not, that bolt ought to come out!
