Description

This is a fun route about 60 feet up the ramp from Lazy Day. It is a good alternative climb if you're waiting for one of the more popular routes in the Hall of Horrors area to open up. Although it only has two bolts on the route, they are placed where you need them and the crux is very well protected. Rock quality is good moving up through the jugs on this fine route.

Protection

There are 2 bolts (3/8") on this route and no fixed belay anchor up top. The belay for "Lazy Day" can be used.

Enjoyable, but short and not overly remarkable. One star out of five. Feb 7, 2005
