Skimmy

Description

The leftmost bolted route on Pentathlete Wall (and on all of Sawtooth Ridge) starts with climbing up a relatively easy face to the first bolt, and then tackles a funky pillar through the mid section. The route gets runout considering the sustained moves through the last 3 bolts of the climb.

Interesting body positions, clips and rests follow on the slab face leading up to the anchors.

Protection

6 bolts to a 2 bolt top anchor.
