Andrew leads out on the 4th pitch. Notice the lack of chalk and friendly runnouts typical of this route.

Going for the 2nd bolt on the first pitch. The bolt is roughly 20 feet and 2 o'clock from the crack above the 1st bolt and it is difficult to see. Photo: Adam Therneau.

Rock Warrior. PLEASE NOTE: drawing an accurate topo on such a nondescript wall is difficult. This could be wrong in places (the Handren line seemed off at points too), and most of pitches wander a bit. Route description and TR at tenthousandtoofar.com.
