| Left Flake has a bolt anchor. It's better to build your own for the Right Flake. |

| Great for early trad leaders. The quick traverse right at the "roof" may intimidate a first leader but the hidden jug at the end is very welcome. |

| While the Right Flake offers great moves and excellent rock, the gear placements can be tricky. The somewhat traversing nature of the route, small, shallow cracks and pods can be problematic to protect. Much of the gear is small nuts and cams, and rope drag can be an issue if slings aren't utilized, where necessary. Not really the best choice for beginning trad. leaders. |

| really enjoyable! I like this one a bit more than the left flake. And I agree you should build an anchor for this one. |
