Description Suggest change

This is the first climb on the south-west facing portion of Hard Rock, just around the corner. Climb the prow for the first pitch and the white colored rock on the second.

Realistically, either you do one pitch of 5.6 or one pitch of 5.10d. Nobody does this as two pitches. However, for historical purposes:

Pitch 1 (5.6): Easy climbing on big pockets. After the 3rd bolt the climbing seemed a little runout. Good for learning how to climb toprope, not lead.

Pitch 2 (5.11b/c): This is where the fun begins. Haul over roof on good holds, then up to the second roof/bulge. Fun sequence with good holds and long reaches make the climb, not to mention the exposed feeling when going over the roof/bulge. Fun.

Protection Suggest change

Four bolts to the first set of double chain anchors. Six more to the top chains (including the midpoint anchor) if you're doing it all as one pitch (and doing it as two pitches would just be silly unless you have an ancient, really short rope).
