Description 

Follow the bolt line on the face just right of the small roof on the Big Bird Wall.

A BEAUTIFUL route that demonstrates the quality and "flavor" of most of the canyon. Pumpy start... a couple long pulls... SHARP pockets... and a SPECTACULAR view of Tongue River.


Protection 

Whoever bolted this route... EXCELLENT JOB! Can't remember for sure... 8 to 10 quickdraws will lead you to a two-bolt chained anchor.

I'd disagree about the excellent bolting, as there is potential to deck between the 1st and 2nd bolts. A good technical route though, that was probably the first sport route in the canyon.

FA: Mike Board, Clay Jenkins, Mick Pattinson, 1987.

10 bolts to chains.
