Description 

RP 4 Me is the second climb right of the thin crack, Super Thin, just right of Indian Springs. The route goes up moderate face climbing towards the small left leaning crack in the upper steeper section. Additional gear here supplements bolt protection. A very fun and secure lead for someone breaking into this level.


Protection 

3 or 4 bolts plus a couple trad placements makes this an excellent mixed lead. Small to medium gear protect the long runouts between bolts. Anchors are 2 bolts with chains and rappel ring.

Great route, fun lead. Without the additional gear placement it would be pretty scary between bolts. The top is pretty slopey and mostly friction holds and balance moves. The route most likely goes more to the left, but if you go a little right of the anchor there are two really good handholds. They are nice to find, especially since it is a long way to the last bolt, but the cam placement in between is solid.

don't miss this one.
crux at the top out IMO.
