Description 

Inside Information is the third line of bolts as you progress east across Escape. It's harder to find than most on the wall. It sits between Monkey Meet and Twist and Shout, before the bulging feature at the base of the crag.

The route is non-descript. Fun but not really exciting. Good pockets that follow up and over a large bulge.


Protection 

7 bolts to 2 chain anchors.

This is a fairly enjoyable, almost pure jug haul. Like almost all of the routes on Escape Buttress, there is a thinner bit going from the first to the second bolt, but mostly the climbing is just reaching for and hauling on big pockets and jugs.

It is strenuous; I grunted my way up it, but I found it easier than its 5.10d neighbor to the left (Monkey Meet) which, in addition to being strenuous, requires a bit more technical trickery in a spot or two.
