| The crux moves through the overhang are reachy and pumpy. The bolt placements above the roof are not ideal. I once caught a 15-footer that my partner took from above the small roof. |

| We had similar concerns, but luckily no falls. Would the FA party consider rebolting the route to make it safe? |

| This is actually a fun climb with a thoughtful entrance moves and a tricky mini-roof which foils a lot of onsights. I agree the bolt-placement is not ideal, but a confident leader can usually work around it. |

| Climbed Wet Bush on Sat. I was wondering if a hold broke above the roof? I felt it was very thin and climbed much harder than it's 10.b rating. Just curious. |

| ucidoug.....while the rock (rhyolite) in the Santa Monica Mountains isn't the best, it's unlikely that a critical hold broke off. Wet Bush is a bit of a sandbag at 5.10b. |
