Description
This is a great little sport route to a neat summit. A very good climb to teach people on - its nice to be on a summit rather than lowering off chains on a cliff.
Climb up jugs and a steep crack. When that peters out, step right and climb the right arete of the spire to the top.
This used to have two bolts and possibilities for stopper placements down low(though it was casual to lead just with the two bolts). Several new bolts have appeared, with the lowest one being pointless - it can be clipped while standing on the ground.
Protection
quickdraws, maybe a few stoppers to protect the start
New bolts were placed in the original location of the original bolts. The pointless first one was to protect a skitish person putting in the stopper placment so they would not fall over and fall out of balance and injure themselves. And by the way I did the first ascent on lead.
This climb is fun but that first bolt is useless. I would not do this climb unless you have a piece between the first and second bolt. A #11 BD stopper fits well and is pretty easy to put in. If you don't put in anything and for whatever reason you fall before you get to that second bolt, plan on hitting the ground.
