Description
This is the obvious bolted route in the gully just right of the black-streaked wall. Steep and juggy, with well-spaced bolts. Watch for hornets on this climb. Also, 60m rope for the rappel or 2 ropes.
Great long bolted climb with pretty healthy bolt spacing, especially between 2 & 3. Get's pretty thin up towards the top. We had plenty of rope with a 60m but I wouldn't go any shorter.Be sure your belayer is tied in.
Also wanted to mention this south-facing route is a great climb on a sunny winter's day. Probably brutal in the middle of July though.

In Ruckman guide, this route is called "Transformer" (sans "Man"). I used an orange Metolius (red would work better) in a flaring crack to protect the space between bolts 2 & 3. Enjoyable, sustained climbing that gets progressively harder on the way up.
A really great route with bolts placed at just the right places. It is runout between 2 and 3, but it really makes the climbing interesting; however, when you do hit tougher ground there is a blot always right there for you.
