| This line may be one of the steepest in the B'ham area. The fp has been replaced with 3/8 SS, and the anchors are over the lip. As of 7/24, the third bolt protecting the crux is still original. caveat emptor... #1,3 c4 useful between the 2nd and 3rd bolt. don't know if they'll hold, but they might. |

| As of 6/22/10, Someone has added two 1/2" pro bolts to this route, one before the first bolt and one after the first bolt, as well as created an anchor at the (former) 2nd bolt. This is fine, since it creates a fun, short 5.8. However, the now 3rd bolt is placed in a large detached block, which I had avoided while beginning the rebolting process last summer. If said person would PM me, that would be great so we could work together to finish rebolting this route properly. |
