| I've known the route as Pretzel Face, I think of a guy with a pretzl face and laugh a few hours. Classic route, slot all your rp's if you wish to sink pro. |

| We called the route which shares the same start as the Pretzel but angles left the "Pretzel Face" 5.10. The classic Pretzel angles slightly right. |

| There are two side-by-side bolts in the vertical face at the top of this route for anchoring. If you're paranoid about using just two bolts for some reason, there's a third bolt on a horizontal rock face 3-4 feet back and a foot up from these two main bolts. Otherwise the third bolt plus a double-length sling makes a decent safety tether when climbing down to rig the main bolts for a top rope or a rappel down. |
