Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

A flat out dyno-mite route with a bit of historical conflict. Bolts 3 and 4 allow the climber to move rightish, or straight up. Straight up seems a bit harder and is very thin. I thought the route to be continuously difficult with several 11d scale moves. Hard at the beginning and hard at the top, it is a classic crimpfest.

Protection 

Lots of QD and something for the double bolt anchor at the top. A long route, so bring 16-18 QDs.
