Description Good / long heavily bolted climb. Reasonably fun, but I don't know about the 10a rating. Felt more like 8 to me but I'm honoring the FA's rating.
Great route for someone breaking into the grade or leading.
Has bolts at 60 and 70 m.
Location Currently 3rd from the right, up the face on the RHS.
Pick up the guide at IME ($10) -- the money goes to pay for all the bolts these guys are putting up.
Protection 60m: 14 bolts + chains
70m: 17 bolts + chains

| This one felt easier than 10a to me, but still a fun route. I thought this was rat bastard (this route hadn't been posted yet) so I ended up being a couple draws short. There is still a good amount of loose rock on it, so be careful and always where a helmet at hellgate. |

| Scariest climbing I have done in years. Bolts 4 - 6 are on a giant hollow flake. I know it's Hellgate and not the most bullet rock out there, but wtf? There are numerous scars from recently pulled off rocks. Between the vegetation and poor rock quality I would not recommend this route to anyone. |
