[Hide Comment] Easily done in a single pitch, and all of the bolts have been replaced on this route. Dec 28, 2006

[Hide Comment] It is worthy to add that this route was done in the style of the day,in which if you can lead the 5.10 on the route then the 5.7 above it going to be runout. Which it is. Nice to hear the bolts have be re-placed. Because sadly the second bolt on the 5.7 section has seen many long falls from climbers getting off route above. Mar 3, 2008

[Hide Comment] Shares first two bolt with Showstopper, then goes slightly left to a ledge with two bolt anchor. 2 more bolts on crystal crimps to a final anchor shared with Showstopper. It would be hatd to get off route I think. Oct 10, 2016

[Hide Comment] Technicality, but..., the other routes came after Ours so if other routes use the same bolts then they share the Ours bolts. Oct 13, 2016
