Description

This short climb has fun moves on great rock. The crux is at the bottom while moving up the face. Link up with the crack formed by a large flake.

Location

Bo Derek is located on the west side of Givler's dome. A simple walkoff can be found on the North side of the dome.

Protection

Cam to #2 camalot.

There are no anchors or good place for a natural anchor. Most use the bolted anchor far to the left of the climb and use a directional at the top of the crack.

[Hide Comment] IIRC, you can get in a good orange hb offset brass and pretty much have a TR at the crux. bolt is completely unnecessary here. May 9, 2014

[Hide Comment] Did someone really suggest this needs a bolt? Farr, far from it. Jun 30, 2014

[Hide Comment] As mentioned before, one can place at least three pieces while standing on a ledge before pulling the crux making it supremely well-protected. I found offsets here to not be specifically necessary. Jun 20, 2022
