Warming up on Primer.

Description 

Two lines emerge from a first bolt about 40 ft right of the overhang. The right-hand version is Primer. Climbing is similar to Pellet Gun (5.10) but runs on somewhat better rock. Climbing negotiates a few big corners and crude ledges, however, it is overall a fairly sustained warm-up with a pump that just mounts. After this, climbing in the Ruckman Cave area pretty much shifts to 5.12 and up so grab a couple of sunny warm-up while you can.

Ten draws and a rope.
