Northwest Passage 

This is a fun and spicy route but I have to admit, I haven't led it yet. Nice, delicate moves bring you to the roof. Surpassing this is a real fun move, definitely the crux and I'm sure very heady on lead.

I guess the start was runnout but the real climbing is fine. I do remember trying to get up the guts to lead this for a while. It was a real thrill when I finally did. Not nearly as bad as the runout might look.

Yes, definitely committing. Although it is runout to the 2nd bolt the holds are large and it is possible to place small gear under the flake. NW Passage used to have a 3-bolt anchor (1/4"ers), below and left of the roof, to protect the crux. The new bolt under the roof is more inspiring, but still requires "intestinal fortitude" to step left and let go of that right hand hold under the arch/roof. In early season the roof seeps and the holds under the arch can be wet. While the addition of another bolt at the crux might let some leaders sleep better at night I don't think solicitting the addition of bolts is appropriate here. If the huevos aren't big enough just TR it.

Did this route in 2012, definitely a mind bender! Old school 5.9. I felt Let it Bleed 5.10b/c was easier.

Did I read the description to say - anyone want to retro bolt this? You are joking, right?

This is a good route. I think I first did it in 1974. Back then it was considered a bit of a test piece. You had to be somewhat commited to climbing it well. Good training for Weeping Wall climbs.
