Description

This is an excellent steep, gymnastic, knobby face, with huge knobs.

Located on the wall behind Touch and Go.

Protection

3 bolts and some long slings to tie off one or two knobs.  Note: Camoflauged hangers blend in almost perfectly with the rock -- look closely.

[Hide Comment] Good and steep (for JT) climbing up huge features. All the bolts have been replaced, and while knob tie-offs may not be terribly handy, gear to 3" for the anchor is. Mar 8, 2007

[Hide Comment] Unless I missed one, only 2 bolts are on the route now, protecting the crux well but nothing above it. I kind of wish there was a 3rd. Only saw 1 chicken head good enough to sling, but it was a fair ways above the 2nd bolt. Nov 22, 2010

[Hide Comment] Still only two bolts. Not recommended in this condition. We traversed L into Ashtray. Nov 3, 2012

[Hide Comment] There are three bolts and one knob to tie off. There is one bolt on top and good slots for large hexes for an anchor. Apr 13, 2014
