[Hide Comment] Protected where you need it most but runout. All the bolts have been replaced on this route. Dec 28, 2006
[Hide Comment] This is the first route located right of Hot Buttered Rump. The G+V book shows this staying right of a right facing dihedral on the second half, that would be pretty contrived. Directly above the 2nd bolt I went stright up into the easy dihedral. Rap anchors are located on the left, exiting the dihedral before it peters out. A 70m will get you to a ledge where you can walk off to the right. Oct 10, 2016
