Description A fun, bolted face climb, right of "Church Bowl Lieback".
A fall near the second bolt will make one understand the name of this climb.
Protection 8 draws.

| a couple of small cams (blue, green, yellow alien size) help protect the first couple moves and one middle move. Very doable without them though. |

| Doable, but more committing. Bring the handful of small cams. |

| Fine without the cams.
Beware, a 60m doesn't quite reach back to the ledge, but some 4th at the tree and you'll be fine/. |

| A fall in the wrong place and you'll probably get a dead tree where it doesn't belong. |

| Skip the 1st bolt, which is too far left. A small cam will protect the move to the 2nd bolt (1st directly above the tree) and about half way up there is another small cam placement that protects a tricky move to the next bolt. |

| Nice crimps all the way through the 10 section. I would bring 3 blue mastercams if I had it over. I stopped at the 6th (I think) bolt and did a almost 90 degree turn to the lie back tree, does this climb have its own anchor up higher? |

| I think the moves to the first bolt without some supplimental protection would be pretty spicy with some serious ground fall potential on 9ish moves. My follower and I both found the moves going directly up from the last bolt to the ledges too also be a bit committing about 10' above the bolt. Among the the more enjoyable climbs in the area by my opinion, but I do enjoy crimps and slabs. |
