The runout 4th class bit is very exposed, but can be protected with stoppers if I remember correctly. The first move after clipping the last bolt is *much* harder than the rest of the climb.

This is one of the best routes at Rushmore.

Great climb! The water chute is fun, and the flakes near the top are interesting. I think I slung a flake or two. The move above the last bolt was, for me, the crux. It is a very fun, different type of climb. Enjoy!

I led this climb on two different trips this year. It's great fun and I try to lead it every year. You can protect yourself and your second by slinging a couple of horns on the runout arete before reaching the summit block. I was very happy to see a new 3/4 bolt protecting the move up the summit block, which is very committing and exposed.

Yes, use at least 60m rope

I think this climbi is harder than 5.7 I'd bring a set of stoppers with me and some trad draws to avoid rope drag. The crux is the move at the last bolt. very fun climb!!!

This climb is spectacular. The crux is really fun but, messes with you a little bit the first time you climb it because you are standing on a nice pedistal then you have to go into the face. Well worth the time every time you visit rushmore.

I led the route this year on 9/29 and found a new bolt/rap anchor system has been placed just below the actual summit of the climb. I and my second rapped using only a 165 foot rope, but we had to traverse to the right as you face the ground and downclimb the last few feet of the trough.
