Description Suggest change

p1- (10d) Scramble up low angle, easy terrain about 20' to a spot where the wall blankens. Clip the bolt and crimp out right (cruxy) past another bolt to a good stance. Head up and left. Pull a roof and follow great holds to the lip of the next roof. Place some small gear and fire the crux! End at some fixed swaged stainless with fat rap rings. Either bring up your second and rap or do...

p2- "Double Cracks Finish" (11a) Shoot for the very obvious, steep but short splitter cracks in a large roof. Climb through it and follow a horizontal out left, then move back right across low-angle terrain for the belay. Alternate original finish climbs right into the dihedral (Arlie Gardens P2)

Descent: rap from Linn Cove anchors, climbers right. 70 may reach but there is a double rap option

Location Suggest change

BOG Man is easy to spot due to the bolts that protect a cruxy traverse down low. It is on the left side of the main tier, left of Airlie Gardens and right of Welcome to Watauga.

Protection Suggest change

On pitch one, nothing above a .5 Camalot is needed (or can even be placed, really).

Pitch two takes a similar range of gear, although definitely carry the .5. A #2 Camalot provides a directional for the second just past the crux.
