Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean.

There really should be anchors on this route, so if you are looking to top rope it sling the big boulder on top.

A cam placement before the first bolt is possible on the left in a square hole - I think red TCU, but not sure. It saved me from decking and going down the hill once, when I slipped under the first bolt. Edited 6/19/07 to reflect Dan's cam size.

Actually, you need a one inch cam, (a red # 4 Metolius TCU works great)!

As the description says, the finishing bolt is to the left quite a ways, in fact, I have done this route several times, but it wasn't until about my 5th or 6th time that someone finally pointed out that there was actually a bolt protecting the last moves. I always thought that it was just a little bit runout, so don't worry about skipping that lat bolt, it is not bad at all.
