Description
This bolted route is shown in Rossiter's topo on p.68, but it does not include a description in the book. It was originally bolted in the 1980s.
Locate the obvious South Face route in a blocky dihedral. Move 20 feet left of this dihedral, and locate a bolted line. Scramble up onto a ledge with a small tree to get started. Work up past a bolt to a small roof. Clip a second bolt, then pull over the bulge. Continue up past a 2 more bolts and a Lost Arrow piton over a lip. Climb an easy but runout slab to a bolted anchor.
This is one of the better bolted lines in the Flatirons. It is technical, but all the holds are there.
Protection
4 modern bolts (ASCA hardware updated 2017), 1 fixed pin. A blue Alien can marginally back up the fixed pin as well as get gear in a second placement, so take 2x of those.
This is "bolted" but isn't a sport climb per se. I wouldn't push myself on it or try to redpoint it with a lot of falls.
