Description
This fun route climbs up the left-center of the face.
Protection
Four protection bolts and a mid-climb two bolt anchor which allows for a single rope rappel.
[Hide Comment] Anybody know how many bolts are on this route? I'm looking to have a friend lead her first sport climb, but I'm looking for more than 1-2 bolts.

[Hide Comment] The second bolt is a two bolt anchor that you can use to do this in 2 pitches with a 60M rope. Not sure if you can climb it as a single pitch with a 70M rope (we didn't have one). There are 5 bolts total, they are a bit run out particularly at the top, but the climbing is pretty straightforward. We did this as practice for doing multi-pitch and practicing belay transitions which worked well.
