Details
fs.usda.gov/activity/dbnf/r… Follow existing trails and climb using removable protection or in climbing areas with existing approved fixed anchors or bolts. Development of any new rock climbing, bouldering or rappelling areas and development of any climbing routes involving the permanent installation of new fixed anchors or new trail construction requires prior Forest Service authorization.
Description
I don't like to call this route a sport route. It's a bolted route for sure, but there are only 4 bolts in 60 feet and no separate anchors for this one.
To some it will seem runout and to others the bolts will seem undersized.
Regardless, this is a classic route and deserves your attention.
Edge up a black streak to the ledge. Traverse left until you can move up on to the ledge and belay from anchors above Buckeye Testpiece.
Location
Immediately right of Buckeye Testpiece.
Protection
Four bolts, you can put in a directional under the boulder on the ledge. Bring a large cam for that.
Belay or set up a top rope from Buckeye Testpiece anchors.
