Lower Education 

More like a 10b at the most; fun climb though!!!

Dynos?? You don't need no stinkin' dynos!! Just commit to the power glide ; )

Not a 10d in my book. It might be if one were to try climbing as described. However, there is no reason to dyno. Perhaps the dynos are a contrivance to push the rating to 10d. The holds are all there and you usually have good feet. Regardless, the route is fun.

The last bolt is an old 1/4" one, the other three are new 3/8" hardware.

I just re-climbed this and maybe I over-rated this route. I have adjusted my rating to a 5.10b. The last bolt is not a 1/4 incher but a 3/8" bolt with a funky hanger.

I climbed this route the 16th of October. One of the nuts on the anchors was loose. I finger tightened it as best I could, but it needs to be properly tighted with a wrench.

This Route is named 'Lower Education'. The route was bolted in the spring of 2002 ground up by Jim Jackson et.all. The anchors 'chains' were originally bolted by Randy Kielezewski in the late 90's. He originally intended for the route (actually a variation) to be climbed and protected by his proprietary brand of removable bolt devices. This information came to light shortly after Randy chopped the route for the first and only time. During the chopping of the route, the last bolt was before the anchors was damaged. It has since been replaced and is safe. The hanger is kind of funky though. I will soon be replaced summer of 2007 (we will also check all anchors in the lower gully). The Jackson party named the route 'Lower Education' in reference to the area being dubbed the Gully of Lower Education. This route was originally rated 5.10. The rightward leaning crack on this same face which shares the anchors of 'Lower Education' has been climbed (trad)/rated at 5.9+ and named the 'Crack of Lower Education'.
