| A red sewn sling up top was placed 1/1/2012 (by the party next to us), the older tied cord and two biners looked to still be in decent shape as well. You should see the anchor hanging over the edge of the rock; the configuration is two bolts plus two slings and two biners.
This route is good, worth doing. The lower section is fairly easy and can be sandy, but has some fun movement. The upper hand crack is a bit short but pretty tough and a worthwhile endeavor. I thought it was harder than popular mechanics to the left, but that's probably because of having novice jam technique. |
