Description

When facing the Toyboat with the rock Borneo to your back, this would be the leftmost route on the face proper.

Starts easy with a couple harder moves at the end.

Protection

3 bolts and chain anchors on top.

THIS ROUTE ISGREAT FOR BEGINNERS LIKE MYSELF, BUT IT WAS FUN ENOUGH TO GET USE TO FOOTWORK AND RELAXING ON THE ROCK. I LOVED IT.... Aug 5, 2009

Bottom link on one of the anchor chains was pretty worn when I did this, consider a rap or lowering off a neighboring anchor. Apr 7, 2014
